Edward Hopper,(American 1882-1967) Macomb's Dam Bridge 1935,oil on canvas

For some,modernity resulted in an increasing feeling is alienation as people began moving through spaces at a faster pace.Edward Hopper captured this transitory nature of modern life in paintings infused with a sense of isolation and estrangement.

 

Completed at the height of Hooper's career, this painting shows Macomb's Dam Bridge,which connects Manhattan and Bronx.There are no signs of life in the city.Instead,an eerie stillness pervades the scene,resulting in a disquieting mood
