description Gas Overview
Gas is a 1940 oil painting by Edward Hopper depicting a lone attendant working at an American roadside gasoline station near dusk. The illuminated pumps and station building contrast with the darkening road and surrounding trees, creating a transition between commercial space and an apparently empty rural landscape. The work exemplifies Hopper's restrained treatment of modern American settings and is held by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
