- Gas (1940) - Edward Hopper
Some guy is closing up his gasoline station for the night.
But Hopper's moment of American Realism art takes us deeper and broader than expected.

Edward Hopper is my absolute favorite artist of all time.
He’s amazing. Always makes you think.
I have a print of this painting in a hallway of my house and I stop to look at it often. This commentary pretty much sums up my own thoughts about it. I think it's a great painting. Thank you.
Yes, it makes me stop and think.
Without any doubt, he’s my favorite artist of all time.
Geoff - Really enjoy your comments on this and many other paintings. Also ' What is art" and the Art / AI videos' as well. I found your channel through watching Great Art Explained (also immensely enjoyable). It's great to have the history of artists, their paintings and reception - however I have found your commentary adds a lot more to understanding the painting itself. It's like having a contemporary (and perceptive) reading of painting - which makes one realize that the themes described are every bit as relevant today as when the painting was made. Also enjoy having definitions on words used like the note about "Ennui" from '2 in the Aisle" - yes I should look it up - or perhaps I should know this word already -- but I don't, or I forgot...or both. Your commentary (with its fantastic sense of humour) articulates questions I have (and ones I haven't thought of yet, but would hopefully at some point). By offering definitions as video progresses - you make it easier to get into what the painting is communicating. I always have a ton of questions when it comes to looking at paintings - and I so appreciate having such a fine guide -- leaving me wanting to hear more!
And titles like "Some Guy at a Gas Station" - pure LOL!
I don't know if I have properly described how satisfying these videos are -- I do know if I waffled any longer nothing would ever get posted.
Well done.
Thanks - it’s really appreciated. I’m glad you like my angle to looking at art. More to come 🙂
I like it. This painting makes me want to see the kind of cars which would drive in. There could be a '40 Ford coming at any minute. This is an automotive painting, cars or no cars.
Yes. I imagined a red convertible with ladies in scarves, laughing on their way to somewhere important.
What medium did hopper use for this painting?
Oil on canvas. Canvas size is 66.7 cm × 102.2 cm (261⁄4 in × 401⁄4 in).
I have a print and somehow it doesn’t compare to how rich the colors are in person 🤌🏻
Nothing like the real thing. That’s why I haunt galleries 🙂
