Hopper produced more than thirty watercolors during the summer of 1926 while in Rockland, Maine, known for its shipbuilding and lime quarries. In this example, he foregrounds railroad tracks. This pictorial device interrupt our view into the composition, enhancing a sense of physical and psychological isolation. As in many of Hopper’s urban landscapes, the absence of figures underscores the feeling of mystery and silence communicated by the spare, abstracted forms.
