Edward Hopper – Two on the Aisle
Two on the Aisle – Edward Hopper
Two on the Aisle is a painting by Edward Hopper: an empty theatre before the show, where a man in tails helps a woman to her seat while another woman reads in a box. We paint our hand-painted study of Two on the Aisle to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 9 sizes from 40 × 50 cm to 120 × 145 cm or in a custom size. Before Two on the Aisle is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Two on the Aisle show?
In Two on the Aisle a bald man in tails stands in an almost empty theatre with green seats, a woman in a green dress bends towards her seat beside him, and on the right, in a round box under a red drape, a fair-haired woman with bare shoulders reads the programme; the grey stage curtain hangs behind. Hopper caught the quiet minutes when the audience arrives before the curtain rises, which is why Two on the Aisle feels expectant, elegant and still.
How is our hand-painted study of Two on the Aisle made?
Our painters paint the study of Two on the Aisle by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Two on the Aisle has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Two on the Aisle is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
