Nighthawks-1942- Edward HopperI Think- it portrays a hard working America during the Second World War. I think its about just people just coming to relax after a long day. The art work is very nice too. He makes you focus on what is going on in the dinner with bright colors and shading.
What the Real Story is- The painting refers to a term "Night Owl" who is someone that stays up late. It takes place in his hometown of Manhattan. Hopper painted it after Pearl Harbor which was a glommy time in American history, so Hopper shows these sad people just sitting and thinking.
