A few weeks ago, they requested me to write an article about the work of Hopper as well as the Nighthawks and I, as an experienced researcher, was able to learn more. Because it is known or at the very least, learn by experience, that to understand a painting, one needs to know its history, the author and most importantly the context in the context in which Hopper painted it. It is surely something universal, transcendent to time and space, and therefore accessible even over the course of centuries. However, the interpretations are subject to change as society and the world evolve and what was once able to be seen clearly, possibly decades later, is no longer as obvious. What was unthinkable before now could be revealing our work in a different manner.Re-defining a work over timeThis is similar to the scene I see when you look at Hopper's " Nighthawks", closed at the bar, late at evening, and in the window, which resembles the inside of a fish tank, in the same position as the characters he who were observed.I believe that , in the painting Hopper wanted to give space to the viewer, allowing him to observe the silent serene, well-detailed and peaceful scene that we are presented by the darkness.The space, designed for an active audience could be the keystone that allows the work to be changed in the course of time, and to remain timeless, eternal contemporary, and modern.The piece, which was created in 1942, cannot be immediately attributable to an exact time period however it appears that the date of its creation can change depending on the changing viewer, depending on the moment at which the piece is seen.In my opinion this is the key to reading, the time and space occupied by the observer that Hopper desired to create.I'll explain.While researching information and news on Hopper's " Nighthawks" I was able be aware of how many people have described it by highlighting these elements:"[...] the feeling of emptiness of an environment whose glistening patina is beginning to fade. [...] The distinctively commercial essence of the myths is that they peel off their masks and show a displaced reality, without reliable sources of reference in the face of uncertainty and lack of conscience. "The night and the transformationI think this interpretation is a little ambiguous, that is, it is an interpretation given in the context of society and by the dating attributed to the work of the United States between the 40s and 50s, during the period of economic growth that was redefining the social and cultural values in the life of people, a society that is even a bit bourgeois, in which nightclubs are seen as places of solitude and despair, as well as a sense of emptiness.This is somewhat true and it's not the whole truth.The first time I saw this painting, and without having studied it, it gave me a lot of joy and peace, with its bright contrast and nighttime stillness.Perhaps, as a resident of a large busy and noisy metropolis, the night is one of the times when I can experience the city in a more peaceful way: fewer people around more cars and less noise, more space between the streets to make the most of, and which place to rest under the city's starless sky. The night has a very different meaning to me than those who went to bars in The United States during the 40s: when the sun goes down the city changes its face, the streets become more free and simple.It is impossible to ignore the way society has changed over the course of more than half a century of social and cultural changes, in between Pop as well as Rock culture, between psychoedelic movement as well as the decade 2000.Personally, as a daughter of the 90s, I was also a night-time kid and by "growing up" I mean every one of the "formative" experiences that the night gave me. Forhttps://fridgesoup2.bloggersdelight.dk/2021/10/21/six-ways-you-can-malding-like-oprah/, it's common to be out after dark, often walking through the neighborhood on Saturdays , looking for the most memorable nightclub, dancing till dawn while riding a motorbike, or car to find the last bar that is open to get the hot pizza or croissant and where you can drink the last glass and smoke the last cigarette before sunrise arrived. Maybe from the 80s afterward, the night no longer in a way that scared those who stayed the house (let's keep in mind the anti-prohibitionism movement and jazz movement and the Cursed Poets who were all great nights owls) and it became the place where many of the prominent personalities of society find the tranquility and security of the other nightclubs.Hopper's contemporary realist styleToday, Hopper's painting is reminiscent of many scenes of real day life. It makes me almost proud and in any case compassionate, especially with the three main characters who engage in an exchange of words while the bartender cleans the bar to close the day and then open another. The nocturnes want to rest in the solitude of the nocturnal company, meditate on their lives observing them through a glass and meet as a tribe in the night, accepting everyone and judging no one. It's no accident that in the oldest civilisations, such as the Indian one the hour and a half before dawn is known as Brahmamuhurta which is also known as the time of Brahma, the best moment to commit oneself to meditation, prayer studying, and contemplation. In this space of time the energy levels are higher, intense but of a calm, spiritual intensity.I see no solitude or empty space in Hopper's painting. I found more among the gentrified streets of the night quarters, as even the right-thinking citizens began going out in the evening.That's why even the most famous and oldest neighborhoods had to be transformed into showcases for the consumer as the spontaneous gatherings of people who gathered in the square had to rearrange their groups in line waiting to be seated to be seated; and the beat of the drums on the the street was slowed by police sirens. That scares me today that nighttime is shattered by its mystical, timeless ambience as a moment of aggregation for the lone wolves, and is now another uncover productive gear of the system, demanding transparency and respectability from the darkest corners within the cities.
