“His specialty was heightening tension through subtle adjustment, tinkering to create the sense of the uncanny that he refined like no other painter in the twentieth century. He got there through drawing.” (Carter Foster, “Edward Hopper: Drawing into Painting” in Edward Hopper, New York, 2009, p. 34)
