Look and Respond

Nighthawks – Edward Hopper 25/03/20 There are a number of reasons why I think this piece is relevant today. Firstly, the painting portrays this empty eerie diner at night.The streets are empty and all the buildings around the diner are also in complete darkness. In the video they say how it feels isolated which is the same as today as most people are staying at home and away from streets and shops over the Corona Virus. This painting could also be used to demonstrate the effect that isolation has on people. It can be lonely and eerie as nobody knows what is really happening. Secondly there is a cash register in one of the windows. This shop is in darkness and there doesn’t seem to be anything else in there but the cash register, this could be used to describe financial difficulties that we could face in the coming weeks.

“Everyone is inside with nothing to do. The lack of entry is symbolic of no going out and no one coming in. The people within the café look lonely; I think this may also represent the people who can’t see family at the moment.”
