Description
This schematic working drawing served Hopper as a means of putting some "initial" ideas down on paper. Displaying his early interest in geometry and architectural motifs, the sketch captures the essence of the city street with a minimum of detail. Loosely drawn with spontaneity and flair, the dumpy storefronts are drawn with diagonal lines of convergence, which emphasize the recession of the street. Variations of window and door openings along with the diagonal barber pole and awnings are shown with a balance of vertical and horizontal planes at diminishing intervals in space. In his 1930 oil painting Early Sunday Morning, Hopper transformed the diagonal orientation of the two-story shop fronts to a direct parallel view of the same buildings. In the oil, the morning light casts long shadows, which are barely hinted at in the charcoal drawing. The medium is charcoal on paper, and the dimensions are 7 1/4"x 9 1/4" (sight) and 16 1/8" x 18 1/8" framed. Provenance is from the artist to his widow, Jo Hopper, until 1968, then to private collection until the present. This very important work of art by one of the foremost American artists of the twentieth century includes a Certificate of Authenticity from Hirschl & Adler Galleries, New York, New York. The retail price on this piece is $37,500.00. To verify, please visit our website at www.thurstonroyce.com Buyer will receive free shipping and handling if payment is made with a bank wire transfer.
