Be it be an exploration of loneliness or light or whatever, but ”Nighthawks,” to me, is the most colorful expression of the beautiful bleakness of noir that I know…
From Those who say Edward Hopper is the artist of social distancing may be wrong:
But while some Hopper experts appreciate the wave of [social media] interest in the American painter, who died in 1967, they say it’s a mistake to brand him as a patron saint of loneliness and social isolation.”

I love this painting. Good friends of mine have a print of it hanging above their fireplace. No visiting them at the moment.

A while back I went to an exhibition of Hoppers’ paintings at Tate Modern, London and I was hooked.

It kind of baffles me because on the surface his work at a casual glance almost seems amateurish or even cartoonish to me. But on closer observation they do, like you say, hook me big time. Art’s funny like that…
