Today we drove to New York through rain and snow to see the Edward Hopper show at the Whitney Museum of American Art. If you like Hopper’s art, which I do, the show is wonderful, with art works like “Sunday Morning,” “The Intermission,” and “Chop Suey.” The show featured examples of Hopper’s early illustrations for magazine covers, his studies for paintings like “The Nighthawks,” and sketches from his notebooks. Hopper was skilled in different mediums as well, and we saw works in watercolor, charcoal, and oils as well at etchings.
The range of museums who contributed Hopper’s works was truly amazing. The Santa Barbara Art Museum and museums in Des Moines, Iowa; Kearney, Nebraska; Montgomery, Alabama; Williams College, Massachusetts–all represented. Tickets were $50 a couple. and the price we paid for parking was outrageous, but I’m glad we had that experience.
