In Office at Night (1940), Hopper traps two figures in bare electric light. A man sits at his desk while a woman moves through a cramped room. The viewer sees nothing outside the office, turning confinement into tension.

Part of the typed letter visible:
Captain Muirhead was shot through the chest and when I last saw him he was lying partially buried in a large shell hole about 15 yards to the rear and to the left of a pill box we were attacking. I am fairly certain that this pill box is the one shown on my map at D.4.b.1 and the grave would be approximately D.4.b.1.2 just to the North of Wolfe Copse. From memory the immediate area was something like this:

The whole area was a sea of mud at the time so that the only landmarks were the pill boxes and the bits of woods. It took us three days to evacuate our wounded from the front line area, then we were relieved and went back to Ypres so I am not in a position to state how much wok the burial parties accomplished later.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:b6qa67q2qrr77rcetegdfbfe/bafkreihyjnmxx3eknrrel5qcsii52ztafgjqo4r4apq2rb2r56sys3an6y)
