作品介绍
机器翻译：
这幅作品是艺术家看到的几个加油站的综合表现。这幅画中的光线--自然的和人工的--使黄昏时分的加油站及其孤独的服务员的场景有了一种潜在的戏剧感。但是，霍普的目的不是简单地描述一个直接的叙事，而是“尽可能准确地转述我对自然界最亲密的印象”--在这种情况下，美国乡村道路的孤独感。同行的艺术家查尔斯-伯奇菲尔德认为，这些画作将在他们的时代之后仍然令人难忘，因为在他“对美国场景的诚实呈现中……霍普并不坚持要让欣赏者感受到什么”。
原文：
This work resulted from a composite representation of several gasoline stations seen by the artist. The light in this painting—both natural and artificial—gives the scene of a gas station and its lone attendant at dusk an underlying sense of drama. But rather than simply depicting a straightforward narrative, Hopper's aim was "the most exact transcription possible of my most intimate impressions of nature"—in this case, the loneliness of an American country road. Fellow artist Charles Burchfield believed these paintings would remain memorable beyond their time, because in his "honest presentation of the American scene . . . Hopper does not insist upon what the beholder shall feel."
