The painting that I have selected for Project 2: Rooms and Narrative is 'Rooms by the sea' by Edward Hopper, 1951.
- Edward Hopper (American, 1882-1967)
- Rooms by the sea, 1951
- Oil on canvas, 29 1/4 x 40 in. (74.3 x 101.6 cm)
Hopper designed and built a sunny studio at Truro on the bluff overlooking the ocean. This painting is based on the view out the back door of the studio. While the view from the studio suggested the composition of Rooms by the Sea, the image is more an evocative metaphor of silence and solitude than the transcription of an actual scene.

The emotive and phenomenal qualities of this painting include silence, openness, deserted, endless, and boundless.
