Hopper was a...This one reminds me a bit of Hopper.<br /><br />Hopper was able to impart a sense of troubling absence, which is what made his work so powerful.<br /><br />You look and look at his scenes, and you think you see how he's done it, but it isn't just a matter of the lack of detail and animate figures. It's something to do with the blankness of the light, the flatness inside of depth. <br /><br />It's like he's figured out how to mimic gravity, without showing its force. <br /><br />You should increase the contrast of the lit surfaces in this scene, to intensify the dramatic unidirectional illumination. Like an annunciation. What's going to happen? It isn't just a sunset. It's the last sunset. The sunset at the end of the world.Curtis Favillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213075853354387634noreply@blogger.com
