The following is an extract from a reading concerning Edward Hoppers Summer Interior.
The reading was titled "The Painted Anderson: Enoch and Alice on Canvas". Taken from the article Introduction to Fiction by Professor Macdonald. The article was found using the online database Scriptovia, found at scriptovia.com
"In the painting Summer Interior, a girl has fallen from her bed to the floor, pulling the sheets down with her, revealing her half-naked body. Her face is unseen, yet, a strong sense of despair emanates from her. This girl seems only to want to be loved, to have something answer the call that was growing louder and louder within her (Anderson 119). The desire to call the lonely women on the floor Alice Hindman grows stronger. There is a strong feeling that the girl in the painting is weeping. Though this can be interpreted in many ways it would seem that, since she has fallen from her bed, she cries for a lost love and the loss of the corresponding happiness."
