Manhattan Bridge

Located not far from Hopper’s studio on Washington Square, where he settled in 1913, the Manhattan Bridge was a source of recurring inspiration for the artist, who painted three watercolors of, or from, the bridge including Manhattan Bridge, 1925–26. Edward Hopper’s painting of the monument carries with it all the hallmarks of this realist virtuoso’s off-piste interpretation of the world. Buildings seem somehow skewed, light and shadow play in a near-surreal manner, and the bridge itself is rendered at times in such little detail that it seems to be disappearing into an invisible mist.

Manhattan Bridge is rendered by THE SKATEROOM as part of an open edition skateboard collection, officially licensed with Artist Rights Society (ARS) and the Whitney Museum of American Art. 10% of all revenue from this collection goes towards funding the incredible Cuba Skate and their recycled-plastic skatepark project.
