Edward Hopper portrayed a panorama of 20th -century American life: cityscapes - buildings\, apartmen ts\, rooftops\, empty streets\; country sides: roads\, fi elds\, barns\, abandoned homes\; coastal New England: har bors\, sailboats\, lighthouses. His most recognizable art reveals people a lone in urban interiors: theatres\, motels\, offices\, re staurants\, diners.
\nWhy do so many Hopper paintings - people\, pla ces\, and even buildings - suggest movie stills of quiet moments from a dr amatic film? Why does Hopper&rsquo\;s art keep growing in its universal ap peal and critical acclaim? We will discuss these and other questions in a presentation of Hopper&rsquo\;s artwork.
\nNote: "Edward Hopper's New York" exhibit at the Whitney Museum runs until 3/5/23. \; though reserved tickets are sold out\, contact the museum about getting "same-day" ticket s.
