Greenwich Village for 54 years and his paintings depict scenes from
his own neighbourhood . He took sketches from travelling around New
York City and then he used to go to a studio and paint. His wife,
Joséphine ,who was also a painter became his model for all the women
he painted.At the same time his presentations of NYC were original.
He had no interest in skyscrapers, buildings ,cars and machines. He
found his inspiration in everyday American life: city streets, shops,
cafés, restaurants, gas stations, hotels and people. He showed
windows from the inside looking out or from the outside looking in,
from quiet cafés or intimate bedrooms.He focused on night scenes
because of the contrast between bright city lights and darkness
outside which he used to stress his characters' loneliness.
His
most famous painting is " Nighthawks" 1942. It is
considered as one of America 's most famous pieces of art. It shows
customers sitting at the counter of a diner.
