Subject Matter and Medium- Nighthawks is a 1942 oil on canvas painting by Edward Hooper. The painting shows people at a diner late at night. The painting shows a small diner that has three people that look like they are ordering food from the small diner on the corner of the street. Two of the customers look to have business clothes on while the other customer has on a bright red dress. Then the lone worker seems to be a bit older and a more lively look to him. Behind the diner there appears to have two buildings that look to be closed at the moment.

Line and Shape-Line and shape are used in this painting of Nighthawks. But it appears that the line and shape don't mean much to the artist, Edward Hooper. The line and shape all look square
