Fellow fans of Edward Hopper will thoroughly enjoy this New York Times slide show that features photos of what the buildings the artist painted look like today. Click HERE.
FYI: These next two aren't included, but "House at Dusk" is a favorite of mine ...
... as is "Route 6, Eastham."

I really loved this. I don't know when I discovered him--probably in early college when I would hide away in the basement of the library--but I loved his paintings of urban subjects. Even these houses and the paintings of small seaside rooms seemed to be such a world away from my South Dakota farm. I so wanted to live in his world. Work in one of those offices at night, ride in one of those train cars--all that.
Kenneth he grew up in Nyack, NY. You can visit his house on Broadway there. It's been turned into a museum with many of his works on display. Hope you can get up there. Kev and I are there often. -Brian
