hills south truro edward hopperIn Hills, South Truro, Edward Hopper depicts the serenity of an American landscape. The composition focuses on the immensity of the rolling hills, bathed in the light of a setting sun that casts its golden hues on the vegetation and mounds of earth. A solitary house, with its sloping roof and sturdy chimney, sits firmly in the foreground, forming a contrast with the peaceful horizontality of the distant horizon. Reflecting the New Realist movement,

bring volume and life to these peonies

refined aspect of the work

playing on the architectural details and foliage

add realism to the scene

What is striking about this work is the effect of emotional realism achieved by Modigliani through the simplification of form and economy of detail

A strangely captivating oil painting

In this way

is represented here by multi-coloured geometric patterns that overlap and intertwine

cut off from the world and realities

Van Gogh invites us to contemplate humanity in its purest expression

Originating in the post-impressionist period

creating a dynamic yet soothing atmosphere
