Edward Hopper was attentive to social transformations and expressed the nostalgia of a bygone America throughout his œuvre, as well as the contrast between nature and the modern world. Created in 2010, this photograph reworks his most famous painting, Nighthawks dating from 1942 and representing characters in a diner on New York’s Greenwich Avenue, immersing us in the intimacy of the bar as well as the silence of the street.
