    Wow. Those are lonely, sad paintings. I never stopped to pay attention to Hopper before, but this really has emotional impact. What were the rest of his paintings like?

    wow. Thanks for tipping me off to this. I’m looking forward to seeing it in Chicago.

    Maybe you’ve seen Nighthawks, probably Hopper’s most famous painting. I saw this exhibit at the end of December when I was in DC… thought it was really interesting. Many of the others have the same kind of quiet tension to them.

    There is a stoic loneliness in the american spirit. Hopper knew how to paint it.
