“Gas” by Edward Hopper presents a fusion of several Hopper themes: the solitary figure, the melancholy of dusk, and the lonely road. This masterpiece is a perfect example of the artist's ability to raise a simple subject with no action to that of a psychologically-charged one.
It depicts a different, equally clean, well-lighted gasoline station; kept open for those in need as they navigate the night, traveling their own miles to go before they sleep.
