Edward Hopper at the Whitney Soon

"All I ever wanted to do was paint sunlight on the side of a house."
Edward Hopper
Hopper lived in Greenwich Village over 50 years in the same walk-up apartment. He ate every meal at the same neighborhood diner (remember the painting?). His wife said he did not like change much.
Upon his death, she gave 3,000 of his paintings to the Whitney Museum which is currently remodeling an area just for Hopper.
He hated children so there are no children in his paintings. And he will be remembered for sunlight on the side of a house.
More to come- Linnie
