Nighthawks by Edward Hopper was painted in 1945. It was painted to create an image of lonliness. He began painting the picture after Pearl Habour and it was inspired by the gloominess across the country. My knowledge of paintings is limited to say the least, but this is one painting that has always stood out in my mind, and when we were set this task it was the first image that came to my mind. The main thing that attracted me to the painting was the image of lonliness that it does create, and upon immediatly looking at the photo I was able to tell where it was meant to be and what time.



This is the version banksy re-created of Nighthawks. HEAVY PICTURE!
