Intermission is a 1963 painting by American realist Edward Hopper (1882–1967). It is a late period painting completed between March and April at his Cape Cod summer home and studio in South Truro, Massachusetts, just four years before his death at age 84.[1] The work depicts a woman in a movie theater wearing a blue and black dress and black shoes, sitting by herself in a green aisle seat near a blue wall below a balcony.[2] It was acquired by the San Francisco Museum of Art in 2012.[3]
