Several kindly blog readers alerted me to the Edward Hopper Exhibit at the Whitney Museum In New York City, lasting until March 5. I asked Maria if she would like to go with me since she always loves to visit a Museum.
We haven’t chosen the day yet, but we’ll take the train from Albany and come and go in one day.
We’re going to my daughter there; she saw the exhibit as a birthday gift from her husband, Jay. I didn’t know she was a Hopper fan, as am I.
He is my favorite painter and has inspired many of my photography. Hopper lived in New York City for much of his life, but he always said he could never quite figure the city out as a painter.
Still, he did a lot of painting there.
He was considered an American Realist, something I supposed I aspire to be but am not yet. This is exciting for me. The Whitney is close to the new train station.
I will hopefully have my foot brace and maybe my new werewolf cane by then. I’ve invited Robin, my granddaughter, but she may be in school and unable to come. We probably won’t go for at least a couple of weeks.
I hope to have lunch with Emma at least. The train ride from Albany to New York is beautiful; I must check the weather forecasts. I could look at Hopper’s work all day.
Hopper’s Brooklyn Bridge, which Emma loves to photograph.
Loved the Hopper segment on CBS Sunday. Morning Show. Wish I was a little closer to take a train ride to see exhibit; however, San Diego, California doesn’t have any direct transportation in that direction 😩
I loved the Hopper segment, too! I’m in northern Connecticut and only a half-hour from the train in Hartford, so am hoping to venture down to the city to see the exhibit. I love Hopper’s work! 🙂
I love Hopper too. His people always seem to be contemplating their lives in a deep way. They are alone even in a big city.
Winter break is coming for most of the Upstate school during Presidents week. Perhaps Robin has a school break and can go with you then. Enjoy your grandparent/granddaughter time.
