On: The Unlikely Pulp Fiction Illustrations of Edward Hopper

There's something about Hopper's paintings. I can usually immediately identify one before I see any caption. I don't know what it is.

But these... Another side altogether. Thanks for the post!

I'm the same way about his paintings... I think it's genius.

I got to see a large collection of his paintings at the National Gallery in DC a number of years ago, and... wow. In person they're astounding. Go see them "live" if you can.

One thing that stands out compared with other modern painters of similar subject matter is the general blurriness of his paintings. I was a little surprised with that.
