I think Nighthawks by Edward Hopper is the most interesting painting out of the ones given. One of the reasons i think this is because of the composition. There is nothing outside and it is very dark but inside this store with these huge windows there are people still awake and enjoying coffee and what not. I think that there is so much mystery behind this painting like with the man with his back turned and head down. It raises so many questions. Also the fact that there are these people that look like they might be planing something this late in a diner. Since this was in the 1942 this painting was encapsulating it also might be these people in the diner thinking about the war and what was going on. This painting just brings an interesting view of a diner during this time and that is why I think it is the most interesting
