| Edward Hopper, Nighthawks, 1942, oil on canvas, Art Institute of Chicago, |
For some reason* Edward Hopper's iconic and most famous painting is on Ciwt's mind today. No matter how many times she - or any viewer - looks at it, it captivates her and continues to ask her questions she can't answer for sure. Are the diners finding a place of calm and comfort in this diner? Are they brooding, feeling isolated? Are the man and woman a couple? What are they talking about - if they are having a conversation? Always she comes up with more questions than answers. And always she is filled with admiration and wonder for Hopper's ability to create such a masterpiece.
* Maybe because she is re-watching The Sopranos these days - also an American masterpiece.
