A Corner (Zigrosser 5; Levin 60)
1919
This 1921 etching depicts an austere urban corner rendered in Hopper's characteristic spare style, with bold lines defining geometric architectural forms and deep shadows that convey a sense of isolation and quiet dignity. The composition emphasizes the intersection of buildings and street, creating a study in angles and planes that reflects the artist's interest in the formal properties of the American cityscape. The work exemplifies Hopper's mastery of the etching medium and his ability to invest ordinary urban scenes with psychological weight and contemplative mood.
