A first look at Hopper's work reveals the important role that light plays in evoking the atmosphere characteristic of his paintings. Natural and artificial light create a borderland of either clarity or oppressive density. Some of Hopper's paintings from the twenties show how his depiction of light defines the human situation. In New York Restaurant, Automat, and Chop Suey, human subjects are portrayed in social situations like an evening at the theater or a restaurant, although none of these pictures tells an actual story. Where the people come from, where they are going, what they are looking at, is peripheral. What primarily interests Hopper is creating a specific atmosphere, transcending the momentary, in which man is viewed comprehensively. Hopper referred to this intention in a comment on New York Restaurant: "In a specific and concrete sense the idea was to attempt to make visual the crowded glamour of a New York restaurant during the noon hour. I am hoping that ideas less easy to define have, perhaps, crept in also."
