Title: Gas
Painter: Edward Hopper
Painted in: 1940
Edward Hopper was an American painter known for his realistic style. His work "Petrol" is a good example of his style, showing a scene of a petrol station in the United States. It is a quiet and lonely scene, with the only person to be seen being the petrol pump attendant who is waiting for a customer. The composition of the painting is thoughtful, using lines and shapes to direct the viewer's attention to the central figure. The use of light and colour enhances the loneliness and desolation of the scene, making it a powerful and poignant work.
