9. One of my favorites by Edward Hopper....

Summertime 1942

11. One of his I can't look at too long before I get sad

[cruadin]

12. Yeah--some of his stuff has that effect....

all his work hits me at a very emotional level, even his early stuff (which, for a while, veered towards the impressionistic) but his later, urban scenes really touch on a whole subterranean level of isolation and angst.

I think he was one of the true American Masters of the visual arts, but, because he painted in the realist style, I think he is sometimes dismissed as something less than a "serious" artistic genius.

He said once that he felt the realist style had never yet been fully explored, a sentiment I share.

16. Kind of like the Wyeths

People often put down Andrew Wyeth's art, but it really touches me on a deep level.
