作品名：萨尔蒂罗大厦

艺术家：爱德华·霍普

年代：1943

风格：新现实主义

类型：景观

尺寸：68.9×54厘米

霍珀和他的妻子Jo于1943夏天前往墨西哥，为霍珀的艺术寻求一个新的场景和新的主题。在墨西哥城停留之后，他们向北旅行了500英里来到萨尔蒂略，萨尔蒂略是一个较小的城市，那里凉爽、干燥的气候和附近山脉的景色使它成为旅游者的热门目的地。霍珀一家住在维多利亚街的一家叫瓜拉多家的旅馆里，霍珀在旅馆的屋顶上画了几幅水彩画。从这个高度，他可以看到城市建筑物上方的群山，但是他对景色的描绘仍然暗示着城市的发展，这阻碍了他对自然环境的享受。在另一部作品中，他展示了萨尔蒂略十八世纪大教堂的色彩斑斓的塔楼，这让人们想起了萨尔蒂略作为西班牙人定居点的根源；然而，在这里，他把自己的视野局限于一些国内建筑的局部视野。房子的简单，块状，用格子和装饰性的雕刻装饰，在天空和远处的山丘上呈现出耀眼的白色。Hopper最初抱怨Saltillo嘈杂拥挤，但是从他的屋顶，他可以投射到这个新环境，同样的寂静和孤独弥漫了他在纽约和英格兰的场景。

Hopper and his wife Jo traveled to Mexico in the summer of 1943, seeking a change of scene and new subjects for Hoppers art. After stopping in Mexico City, they traveled 500 miles north to Saltillo, a smaller city whose cool, dry climate and views of nearby mountains made it a popular destination for vacationers. The Hoppers stayed at a hotel called the Guarhado House on Victoria Street, and Hopper painted several watercolors from the hotel roof. From this height, he could see the mountains over the buildings of the city, but his depictions of the scene still suggest the urban development that was blocking his enjoyment of the natural setting. In another work, he showed the colorful towers of Saltillos eighteenth-century cathedral, a reminder of the citys roots as a Spanish settlement; here, however, he limits his scope to a partial view of some domestic architecture. The houses simple, blocklike forms, trimmed with lattices and decorative carving, are a dazzling white against the sky and the distant hills. Hopper had initially complained that Saltillo was noisy and congested, but from his rooftop he could project onto this new setting the same stillness and solitude that pervaded his scenes of New York and New England.
