a look at Edward Hopper


New York Movie, 1939.



The Bootleggers, 1925.


Pennsylvania Coal Town, 1947




Chop Suey, 1929


A friend from college, Christy, recently shared Chop Suey with me. She suggested "Edward Hopper (finds) Keisha." I suppose the woman does have a particular resemblence to me...I couldn't resist sharing a few of my favorites. Hopper is one of the leading American realist painters of the 20th century. His work captures emotion such as lonlieness, introspection and detachment through images in metropolitan scenes, cafes and apartment windows.
