We went to see the Winslow Homer and Edward Hopper exhibitions at the Art Institute when we were in Chicago this spring. I prefer Edward Hopper. :) I don't remember those two photos though.
I can't decide whether I like E. Hopper or not- I appreciate his painting skills, but the scenarios always give me a funny feeling. They are tense- frozen in time or something.
j: i agree. i do like these two, and one other (the title escapes me)--well they speak to me at least. but i think the akwardish feeling is a reflection of the culture at that time. or maybe his own discomfort? who knows. i even enjoy the variation in color of suvi's diapers these days. the mia is totally mia from my activities list! :)

I agree about W.H. reminds me of the "blow out/starving artists" sales that are advertised on tv.
