Edward Hopper in Motion: His most iconic paintings come to life to mark 50 years since his death

Now, for the first time, nine of his most iconic paintings have been brought to life, courtesy of the creative team at Orbitz.

Crafting a series of clever animations, to mark 50 years since Hopper's death, they have injected movement into the otherwise static images – from Automat and Chop Suey to Lighthouse Hill, and – of course (how could they not) – his most famous artwork, Nighthawks.

Hopper's intrepid pieces of Americana, famous for their uncompromising realist edge, have literally been given another dimension where previously subtle elements are exaggerated through motion. Orbitz remarks: "We've created a 21st-century tribute to this titan of 20th-century art, for the younger generation who may not have been directly introduced to his work."
