There have been some talented americans who could paint and in this article, we are going to tell you about some 5 cool american paintings of all time and even we don’t know how they became famous.
Nighthawks
This is a Painting by Edward Hopper from 1942. It is an oil paint painting in which we can see a downtown eatery. The board says Phillies, so we can assume that it from Philadelphia. The streets are empty and the nearby shops are closed. The eatery’s light illuminates the streets and there is a couple and a forever lonely guy eating the dinner. This painter wanted to show the lonely life and what the burden of work has made our lives. We have gotten so crushed by work that we have to eat our dinner in an eatery rather than with our family at home.
American Gothic
This painting is painted on a beaverboard using oil paints. It’s a Painting by Grant Wood in which we can see a middle-aged couple wearing old-style traditional attire. They are posing in front of a house. The man is half bald and has a blank expression on the face and the woman seems a little disgusted or unhappy. She is not even looking at the camera in the painting. Maybe the painter wanted to show that the women have never been happy even in the old days even if a man does everything to please her.
The Persistence of Memory
This is a Painting by Salvador Dalí, in which you will see molten clocks all over the place. The location is a deserted place and he made it using oil paints. This painting completed in 1931 and it tells that the time is fluid. Time stops for no one and time fades. And even when time fades, the memories still persist that is why the clock were molten by they still existed. Similarly, time will always be there even when we die. Time will never vanish and time will stay on forever even after the world comes to an end.
Whistler’s Mother
It is a Painting by James McNeill Whistler that he completed in 1871. James McNeill Whistler painted this using oil paints and in this you will see a lady sitting in a side pose on a chair facing left. She is wearing an old-fashioned black dress and is very old. There is a footrest in the front. The setup is in her room.
No. 5, 1948
In this Painting by Jackson Pollock you will see a messy set of curved lines in different colours in a green tint. The messy grid of lines tell that our mind can be so complex and it is almost impossible to keep it sorted. Similarly, it tells the nature is very complex and difficult to understand, yet everything is balanced if we don’t interfere.
Conclusion
American painted have tried to paint their imaginations but they are not as successful as the French and other EU artists. But still whatever talent they have, their art pieces are still available to see in various museums and exhibitions.
