When I see an Ed hopper work it’s like a silent scream of loneliness. I hear the tinnitus in my ears because it appears so loudly quiet.

Thank you for such an informative description of Edward hopper and his work. Well done.

I am an artist on Cape Cod. I enjoyed the talk very much. Thanks for posting. BTW- the Hopper's house in Truro is still there, largely unchanged. It was left to friends after the Hopper's passing. And I wanted to point out that you said the painting "Rooms for Tourists" may have been Gloucester. It is in fact 142 Bradford Street in Provincetown, now called the Sunset Inn. It also still looks very much the same as it did when Hopper painted it. There is a woman who gives a wonderful tour around Truro, visiting places Hopper painted. Hopper House Tours with Beth Chapman. If you can arrange to go out with her, it's a lot of fun and very imformative!

I think people tend to confuse solitude with loneliness . Hopper’s pictures show solitude, but are the people lonely? I don’t think so. Today in our overcrowded world the concept of solitude is often much desired.

Thank you for uploading, I really appreciated learning more about this amazing artist!

Excellent! Thank you!! From New Zealand.

Insightful and comprehensive discussion, direct, clear, smart and (TG!) NOT pretentious. (I personally don't see the "dabbling in Kandinski" theory. Those windows look like they were whitewashed OR painted over for decorative effect for the presentation of the exterior---with a pale yellow?---perhaps years earlier and fading, or the result of glue that has browned somewhat, as if a thin sheet of paper or some such had been glued there, and now showing the aging, darkening effects of sunlight on it. I've seen a lot of old glue smears over the years, as they often have that exact same look as the glue begins to darken and 'print through" whatever it was adhered to as time goes on. A covering may've been put on the lower windows to provide a little privacy to the customers, or to block some kind of light that may've started to shine into the room from some outside business, car headlights or something similar. Or maybe just to subdue the lights of the restaurant's own sign that is so close, just outside the window, especially if it had a blinking light component.)

Great lecture thank you very much

Very interesting, thank you 👍👍👍👍🎨

Enjoyable talk, excellent speaker. I second the woman's comment at

AS MY PAINTINGS ARE OFTEN COMPARED TO EDWARD HOPPER'S, YOU MIGHT ENJOY SEEING THEM. MAX FERGUSON
