Late Night Visitor; A Variation on Nighthawks


Another classic revisited and revamped.*

hopper23 copy1 Late Night Visitor; A Variation on Nighthawks Nighthawks (1942) by Edward Hopper is among the most famous of American artworks. Four people are depicted in an all-night diner. Their disconnected expressions convey an uneasy feeling of loneliness and isolation – one figure even has his back turned to the viewer.

These are common themes in Hopper’s works. In Nighthawks, it is accentuated by the artist’s use of empty space, both within the diner and outside in the city street.

In this particular Horndog lampoon, a lone figure enters a late-night diner and elicits worried glances from the other occupants.

Who is this mysterious stranger and why is he here?
