Nighthawks




Edward Hopper – Nighthawks


Gottfried Helnwein - Nighthawks: Boulevard of Broken Dreams


Nighthawk is a person who normally stays up late at night. It is also the name of the famous painting by the American artist Edward Hopper.


In the second painting Gottfried Helnwein, an Austrian artist born in 1948, based his work on Hopper´s but substituted the four lonely people for the four American idols of the 20th century:
Humphrey Bogart,
Elvis Presley and 
James Dean.

The setting is a diner, normally a  small prefabricated building typical  in America that sells simple American food and is opened till late at night.
