Edward Hopper - Origionals to remakes

 Edward Hopper was renoun for very realist-style painter of twentieth-century America. His images have become part of the very style, moverment and texture of American experience.

 Even today, thirty years after his death, it is almost impossible to see America without some refrence to his work, through others after him today.

 One of his most famous peices is the scene from the American Diner. Below are two variations of this, the first being the origional, and second being a re-creation.



Origional





Remake


The comparisons that i have concluded myseelf are the following;

1. The actual layout, such as the shop front being curved round to the right, and the flat tall building in the background.
2. The idea of the actual scene of the painting and photograph remake having the only light source as the one coming from the actual shop lighting.
3. Even the attention to detail of the sizes of the windows are the same layout and size.
4. Also again, the attention to detail comes through again with the factor of having the door in the back right hand side of the shop floor.

This is just one example of where Edward Hoppers work has been copied, recreated and been of an influence of. There are hundreds of signs, from small to large details in our day to day life.
