Like a lot of career creatives, I spent a good portion of my early 20s working in bars and nightclubs. Hopper’s work totally captures the fuzzy, in-between times of 4am Sunday morning where it feels like you could be the only person in the world. Then you see signs of the world waking up around you, other people also alone. It’s not bad, it’s like a feeling of comfortable shared isolation.

[@ElishaDavid]

That line about copying someone's style when you start off is a conversation I've had a few times with other artists. If you look at anyone's body of work, usually the first few pieces are direct rip offs of their inspiration. Once you understand how your inspiration can create what they did, it allows you to add your own flair to that style. I always tell people to just start creating, allow yourself to be bad. Don't think about it being original or unique at first. Everybody talks about making something that stands out, but it takes years to hone in on your own personal style, so just start while you still have the creative time and energy. Rip off your inspiration - it's essential to finding your own style.

[@mayunkaluthantri114]

And if you look up who influenced Hopper you will see more evidence of this. This is the true beauty of art for me.

ah yes, Garfield 2. Known most famously for it's blue and orange two-tone color grading - and lasagna.

[@MatthewTovar0]

The US theatrical movie release poster is just the metaphorical tip of a mammoth Artic iceberg. Garfield 2 was an ambitious project that perfectly executed its character development, mise en scène, symbolism and cathartic climax. It is no wonder that it is now regarded as thee cornerstone of cinema and considered a master class for any director of photography. However, do not take my word for it; consider Cythia Fuchs lauding review of this film where she captures the true essence of the film in a few poignant words, "... the indignities are as enormous as the food bills". For the intrepid celluloid enthusiast, continue the beauty of this this cinematic triumph in the adaptation of this film on your home video game console (limited release on the following platforms: Nintendo DS, Playstation 2 and Windows PC).

I had been familiar with his Nighthawks painting before but I had no idea hopper had so many other insane paintings (especially that Ground Swell one, damn). I’m currently majoring in film, so a lot of the inspiration I draw from is films. I think Apocalypse Now and The Grand Budapest Hotel are two phenomenal movies that have great visual styles, apocalypse now excelling more in its use of shadows, and grand Budapest more so in its color pallete and very symmetrical framing

[@charlie-obrien]

I really enjoyed your input and your filming of Hopper's work. With light and framing, Edward Hopper creates a world of rarefied air for his subjects and this makes them more like characters in a story. I have always thought that the framing captures and holds them in place, leaving them little control in their world. And that the light (which they are either facing directly or have turned their backs on) illuminates a possible destiny they are ruminating on. Reminiscent of my favorite author Jack London, whose characters are often driven towards their destiny in linear fashion, forced by circumstance beyond their control and must succeed or be doomed.

I vividly remember the first time I saw Nighthawks as a kid, around 7 or 8. It immediately struck me and made me feel... deeply depressed, but, in an alluring way. Something about the way Hopper paints makes these people look like the only people who exist in the world. Even though there are multiple people in the frame, maybe even interacting, everyone looks utterly alone. Maybe because I’ve suffered from insomnia and childhood trauma, but seeing that feeling of being deafeningly alone at night reflected back at me gave me a paradoxical sense of comfort. Even though I often feel painfully alone, that loneliness is a human experience that’s been shared throughout time. It was a vague but powerful feeling I had as a child, but now that I’m an adult I can put words to what that feeling was. An odd comfort in the depiction of pain and loneliness. Or maybe I’m just missing the point entirely and should stay in therapy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Regardless, thanks for the video!! 😜👍🏻
