Edward Hopper's paintings are somehow uncanny: there's something strange in the atmosphere that his works create, but it still looks familiar... His style is sometimes beyond description, I really loved his paintings!

| Hopper's 'Nighthawks' |
Ben Shahn can sometimes resemble Hopper's work, but I think Shahn is way too disturbing.
 |
| Shahn's 'Liberation' ... quite disturbing |
Isabel Bishop's paintings are steady and calm; they make your senses relax in a really sublime way!
 |
| Bishop's 'Men Resting' |
However, Bishop's friend Reginald Marsh is not really my style... his paintings are too disgusting and disturbing!
 |
| Marsh's 'The Bowl' |
Ivan Albright's paintings are indeed really precise: they're busy and overwhelming, sometimes they're even alarming!
 |
| Albright's 'Poor Room' |
I really liked all Charles Sheeler's pieces of work, but 'City Interior' really impressed me! What a realistic painting! *Hats off*
 |
| 'City Interior' |
Demuth can get really interesting and modern, speacially in 'I saw the Figure 5 in Gold', but he doesn't speak to me like other artists do.

| 'I saw the Figure 5 in Gold' |
In general, I didn't really like the Regionalist paintings because I don't even like farms landscapes or farm animals in real life. However I think that Rockwell Kent's seascapes and polar landscapes ate great! Some paintings that stand out from the rest! In addition, I think that Grandma Moses's paintings are cute, she has a style that I would never paint, but anyway I think her work is cute!
 |
| I've always thought that Wood's 'American Gothic' is disturbing.. his other paintings are more charming and stylized, though |
Thomas Hart Benton is indeed different from the rest of the American artists we've been reviewing. I liked his paintings because they're energetic and quite imaginative, sometimes even alarming!
 |
| Hart Breton's 'Cut the Line' |
