What period of Hopper's career does Blackhead Monhegan represent?
This piece dates from Hopper's early career (1916-1919) when he frequented the Maine coast, moving from Impressionism toward the stark, architectural realism that became his signature style.
Why did Hopper choose Monhegan Island as a subject?
Hopper was drawn to Monhegan's rugged cliffs and desolate beauty, which provided the perfect stage to explore the interaction between harsh sunlight, deep shadows, and the power of nature.
