[H2]Introduction to Chop Suey and its Artist, Edward Hopper[/H2] [A href='https://WahooArt.com/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=edward+hopper,edward,hopper&']Edward Hopper[/A]'s [A href='https://WahooArt.com/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=chop+suey,chop,suey&']Chop Suey[/A], painted in 1929, is a remarkable example of social realism. The painting measures 96 x 81 cm and is created with oil on canvas. Edward Hopper (July 22, 1882 – May 15, 1967) was an American realist painter and printmaker, known for his oil paintings that depicted modern American life. [H2]Analysis of Chop Suey[/H2] The painting features two women in conversation at a restaurant, with another couple in the background. The scene is set inside a cafe, focusing on the sensory iconography rather than any one given figure. Hopper's attention to light effects is evident in this piece, as he details only specific elements of the setting, creating an atmosphere that touches themes of isolation and self-being. [H2]Interpretation of Chop Suey[/H2] One striking detail of Chop Suey is that its female subject faces her doppelgänger, according to art scholar David Anfam. However, others argue that it would not be so unusual for two women to be wearing similar hats and that it is presumptuous to claim doppelgängers when one subject's face is not visible to the viewer. [H2]Significance of Chop Suey[/H2] Chop Suey is a significant work in Hopper's oeuvre, showcasing his mastery of social realism and his unique ability to capture the essence of modern American life. The painting was sold for $92 million in November 2018, setting a record price for the artist's work.
