Nighthawks has been widely referenced and parodied. Versions of it have appeared on posters, T-shirts and greeting cards as well as in comic books and advertisements. [51] Typically, these parodies—like Helnwein's Boulevard of Broken Dreams, which became a popular poster [18]—retain the diner and highly recognizable diagonal composition, but replace the patrons and attendant with other characters: animals, Santa Claus and his reindeer, or the respective casts of The Adventures of Tintin or Peanuts. [52] With its simple setting, dramatic lighting and ordinary stillness, the painting makes iteasy for the viewer to place him or herself into the scene, on the city streets.The main character of the work seems to be the diner itself, with strong diagonal lines accentuated by the counter and the stools. However, with no doors to enter, the viewer is shut out from the scene by a seamless wedge of glass, allowing the viewer to invade the diner's private world and his Nighthawks from the street by way of sight only. Above the diner, we see an advertisement, or possibly the name of the diner, that says, “Only 5c Phillies”. The remainder of the advertisement words are partially cut off by the composition, but it appears to read “America’s No 1 Cigar”.In an interview, Hopper was asked what he thought of all the art critics trying to understand the meaning of the painting. To all that he said. “I think they’re all wrong”. You cannot get the thoughts of the painter because even the painter can’t. Night + brilliant interior of cheap restaurant.

McManus, Darragh (December 4, 2016). "Anthology inspired by Hopper's untold tales". The Independent . Retrieved January 14, 2023. The eery scene has captured the imagination of viewers, sparking intriguing and mystery around the unidentifiable figures who all seem to not know each other. The figures are modelled on Hopper himself and his wife Jo. The cinematic drama of the scene with the three strangers up late at night is created by Hopper’s intense use composition and light, which are common to his other works including ‘Chop Suey’. Hopper also succeeds in keeping the narrative on the scene open-ended. From Jo’s notes about the painting, the ‘Nighthawks’ title refers to the seated man with the beak-like nose next to the woman. “Ed has just finished a very fine picture--a lunch counter at night with 3 figures. Night Hawks would be a fine name for it. E. posed for the two men in a mirror and I for the girl. He was about a month and a half working on it.”

A detail of the figures in Nighthawks (1942) by Edward Hopper; Edward Hopper, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons He was a conscientious artist, and, with Jo’s input, his paintings were extensively planned before their execution, much like the delicate planning that goes into directing a movie.The main “buzz words” around this painting include timelessness and loneliness because it shows us the realities of living in a city brimming with culture and people, yet the other side of it can leave one feeling completely isolated in its throes. Hopper ironically did not solely aim to depict this aspect; he was reported as saying, “unconsciously, probably, I was painting the loneliness of a large city”. We can believe this as he lived in the city and must have felt similar feelings.
