Excellent talk thank you

Beyond the magic of the gift of talent, an artist's ability to persist in the struggle for acceptance and recognition is itself a thing of wonder.

A very engaging exploration of Hopper`s life and work Dr. Shafe. A quote from Joseph Conrad comes to mind when I look at certain Hopper paintings: "We live as we dream...alone." His wife Jo once compared talking to her husband to the dropping of a stone in a well, except that it made no sound when it hit the bottom. I highly recommend the recent Sevent Art documentary "Hopper: an American Love story". The relationship between Hopper and Jo is explored in much detail and it is a fascinating - and I think rather sad - portrait.

Thank you, Dr Shafe. Really interesting lecture and makes me want to learn more about the artist. Fabulous. I will certainly look at other video lectures of yours. 😁👍

Thank for clarifying name of Early Sunday Morning. I lived across the street from this site on 7th Ave much later from 1985-2000.

Nighthawks inspired by corner of Greenwich Ave and 11th St. Building still there. 70 Greenwich Ave. Google street view and you’ll see it’s definitely an inspiration. Used to be a diner.

If you have never read The Art Spirit by Robert Henri, a very interesting book.I believe Norman Rockwell was also a student.

I have just bought it and started to read. It is clearly an inspiring book which any artist should read. Laurence
