Issued as a Forever stamp, "The Long Leg" stamp honors Edward Hopper, a pivotal figure in 20th-century American art. His work is renowned for its stark realism and the sense of isolation it often conveys. "The Long Leg," painted in 1935, showcases his fascination with the sea and the unique light of coastal New England. The painting is set in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where Hopper and his wife, Jo, spent many summers. The title refers to a sailing term for a long tack, and the composition, with its strong diagonal lines and interplay of light and shadow, creates a feeling of both movement and tranquility. The stamp's issuance in Provincetown celebrated Hopper's deep connection to the area and his enduring influence on American art.
