Reinterpretation of Early Sunday Morning, 1930 by Edward Hopper Early Sunday Morning, a painting that can either be taken as a quiet and peaceful scene of small businesses that are closed or considered a comment on the Depression. Hopper pointed out in a conversation that the word Sunday was not part of the original title. "I am fond of Early Sunday Morning, too - but it wasn't necessarily Sunday. That word was tacked on by someone else."
