Until I saw a fantastic exhibition of his work in 2008 at the Art Institute of Chicago I really knew nothing about Hopper other than his iconic Nighthawks which is part of the AIC's permanent collection:
Nighthawks 1942
Here's a sampling of more of his art:
Gas 1940
The Lighthouse at Two Lights 1929
Rooms for Tourist 1945
House at Dusk 1939
Night Windows 1928
My favorite novelist Tom Robbins is celebrating his 75th birthday today.
