Edward Hopper

Saw an exhibition of his work at the Whitney Museum in NY. The work he does with light is always mentioned, what I found interesting was his own body image. He was very tall from a young age, and found himself quite lonely, his classmates used to call him Grasshopper, later in life he confided with his wife, they never had children.
|What I saw in his work was the simple existence of windows or staircases, the consistent need to look to the future or to look outside, not being in this moment as it is unbearable.
The furniture will not fit the people in need for them , the window might be too big, with the high exposure to light something troubling comes out.

It might be the reason I found his work powerful as prayer.
