At some point when I was young I was exposed to paintings by
Edward Hopper. I don’t know if it was at
the National Gallery in DC or at the Philadelphia Art Museum. Somewhere somehow thought I saw the works of
this quintessential American artist and was captivated. The one painting that
always stuck with me was Gas. Hopper’s greatest paintings have been described
as representations of loneliness, alienation, melancholy, or solitude. When I
go walking about in the weird yellow light that our current streetlights throw
off I am often reminded of Hopper’s images. http://www.moma.org/collection/object.php?object_id=80000
