Club with two canvases in February 1915. The oil New York Corner is, for Hopper, an explosion of human activity around the ornate gold and gilt façade of a corner saloon. Its composition is an academic balance of foreground, middle ground and background that is anything but lively. The figures are dressed in workers’ black, trudging toward a newspaper kiosk that is also beneath the saloon’s overarching portico. The effect – with the rounded pavement kerbs – is of carved figures on a moving platform forever circling across the face of an antique clock. It is Hopper’s virtuoso ability to spike in elements of colour and light with simple brush dabs: the newspapers, the highlight on the foreground gas lamp, the gilt decoration above the door and the barber’s pole that adds life to the urban solidity of the brick building and distant cityscape.
