Postcard US-7932082

Edward Hopper was one of the early American artists to paint the experience of human isolation in the modern city. In Morning Sun, the woman - modeled after Hopper's wife, Jo - faces the sun impassively and seemingly lost in thought. Her visible right eye appears sightless, emphasizing her isolation. The person is portrayed for the first time as a fully perceiving being; the picture successfully depicts the mediation between inner reality and the outside world.
