With the advent of urbanization during the industrial revolution came a new genre of landscape: the cityscape, celebrating and critiquing the modern urban vista. Enamored with the progress of modern life, French Impressionist painters incorporated the changing landscape of their urban environment into their paintings, in works like Claude Monet’s La gare Saint-Lazare (1877) or Gustave Caillebotte’s Paris Street, Rainy Day (1877). In the United States, early twentieth century artists in the Ashcan School painted the vitality of life in New York City. Led by Robert Henri, the school included John Sloan, George Bellows, William James Glackens, and Everett Shinn. Avoiding the darker underside of the city, the Ashcan artists portrayed New York in a positive, uplifting light. Working in the 1920s and 1930s, painter Edward Hopper took cityscapes on as one of his primary subjects—his iconic 1942 painting Nighthawks captured the beauty and solitude of the late-night city streets. Contemporary artists who have created cityscapes include painter and printmaker Yvonne Jacquette, photographer Thomas Struth, and David Hockney.
