Edward Hopper's Lighthouses

Hopper had been summering in Maine since 1914, the lighthouse also signified a pleasurable releif and rest from life in New York.

“Lighthouses were one of Edward Hopper’s favored subjects. He first began sketching them as a student and later went on to paint a number of lighthouses in Maine, including the one pictured in this watercolor, the Cape Elizabeth Light, also known as Two Lights.” source
