Edward Hopper vs. Raphael

Eward's Hoppers work is like an abstract value such as the rectangle of the sky and the trapezoids of the ocean, wall and yellow floor. his work might be seem crafted but its the including of people and there living. yet who wouldn't want a painting that can be representing the freedom and how long is the ocean where one can relax and think there at that location. Hoppers focus on shape and the light how it comes in the home and gives light. yet, there are certain colors he wont use just because of the shapes that represent the object and the outline. There are eight things that Hopper used to construct his portraits shape, mass,light,value,color,texture, and space (chapter 4 page 81).
As for Raphael the image of Mary has exposed feet and that opens our eyes he does the contrasts with the darker tones around it while Hopper used light and around darker tones as well to make a more meaningful attraction to what the image signifies .Just as the lines around Mary and the features around implied the triangle shapes. Taking them to a place of realistic.as for the lighting they both have the same meaning to there painting trying to see what is what and where is the setting taling place standing out from shape, lines and color.
