A sense of place


The top image is by Edward Hopper. He creates a sad, dark mood. The second image, by Pierre Bonnard has a very light and happy mood. The two main components of the difference in moods is their use of color and composition. Hopper uses cool colors with emphasis on the subject who is sitting alone. Bonnard uses very warm colors, the composition includes bright mountains and a blue sky and even a child in the bottom right.
