Describing and presenting a painting

-      Presentation of “Gas” by E. Hopper:(author, type of painting, date, artistic movement, year)

This painting was created by Edward Hopper in 1960. This is an oil canvas belonging to the Realism movement and entitled ‘People in the sun’.

-      Description of the painting:(scene, people, landscape, lights, point of view, different parts, imagine the sounds, atmosphere...)

The scene takes places / the scene is set in the countryside. There are five people sitting on deckchairs and they are probably looking at a sunset.

The light is mainly on the left, more precisely on the people’s faces.

In the background, we can see dark mountains and the blue sky.

We suppose this scene is rather quiet / calm / peaceful and that we can just hear the sounds of nature.

This oil painting is entitled “gas”.

-      Description of the painting:(scene, people, landscape, lights, point of view, different parts, imagine the sounds, atmosphere...)

The scene takes place in a gas station. It is probably set in the U.S.A because it looks like a typical American station.

In the middle of the painting, we can see a man, alone, standing next to gas pumps.

The foreground, where we stand watching, is in the light whereas the background is very dark.
