I saw it in 2007 at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston as part of a traveling exhibition of Hopper's work, and it was a more moving moment for me than when I saw the Mona Lisa.

[@redwarpaint]

+Nerdwriter1 I very recently discovered your channel as well, and I'm already a huge fan. I particularly like that you cover a wide range of subjects for your analyses, discussing movies, paintings, technology, society etc. with equal insight. Are you at all familiar with games like The Stanley Parable, The Beginner's Guide, Papers Please, Journey, Gone Home, or Antichamber? No doubt you already have a wealth of material you plan to cover in future videos, but it would be wonderful to hear your analysis on any of these particular games, or others that are similarly exploring, subverting, and expanding the capabilities of the video game medium as a unique and transformative artistic experience.

[@jessebruner398]

+redwarpaint Amen! He has a talent for studying this art which is something I love to do. And to analyze some of these games would be very nice. I'm still wrapping my head around limbo. I made a whole flow chart and everything and I'm still scratching my head. I know there is something there, I think everyone felt it after completing the game. I just cant figure it out.

[@awd3n]

+Nerdwriter1 Well played!

[@sablesoul]

Hopper is my absolute favorite painter. I once read about him, particularly about his piece Automat, that his paintings evoke a sense of loneliness but not sadness; which I think best sums up his style. A very realist approach to Modern Americana, a study of how detached people are from each other but that detachment itself being a common thread between us.

[@HAL29209]

The visual effects that you used to highlight and accentuate the painting were concise and really effective. Some of your best work yet. Thank you so much for being such a thoughtful and directed voice.

[@hibasobh]

“People are feeling alone together, in their lighted ship against the darkness of all that was yet to come”, I found those particular words really beautiful.

[@vickhs]

There's something about Hopper's works that makes me feel incredibly lonely, but in a rather nostalgic sense? His paintings evoke this idea of loneliness as well as silence, for me. An incredibly peaceful environment, those singular moments we have very rarely in life when everything seems to stop, just for a few seconds - yet he grabs and immortalizes them in paintings that look so _gentle_. Moments of quiet contemplation amidst the madness of the modern world, which is probably why I feel kinda relaxed, in a way. His paintings that depict daytime are so effective that I can almost feel the gentle heat of the sun against my skin, in a quiet morning of spring. Also, I've been subscribed to this channel roughly since this video was posted when you were reaching 100,000 subscribers, and less than two years later we're already at 1,6 million! My God. You definitely deserve this!

[@rosemarycat5]

this makes me think of a line from piano man, "They are sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone"

[@Ikaros23]

brilliant comment

[@janskeet1382]

"Son, can you play me a memory?” “I'm not really sure how it goes?” “But it's sad and it's sweet.” “And I knew it complete.” “When I wore a younger man's clothes." The attachment to an idealised life in Billy Joel’s song does so deeply mirror the emotion evoked in this art work. They both talk of the bitter nostalgia that can trap a life and condemn it. I think that both Hopper and Joel both tried to say, “The answers do not lie here!”

[@josephdale69]

Hopper said that the painting wasn’t about loneliness. It’s called “nighthawks.” It’s about predators in the night.

[@99thTuesday]

I think this might be the best Analysis Art you've made so far. I love how Hopper was seemingly too late for the impressionists like Renoir and too early for the post-war figurativists like John Brack. He bridges movements decades apart with his own stolid attachment to what he wanted to paint.

My artworks have lately taken an interest in the mundane, inspired by my own bustling city where people's stories fade into the crowd and the lights. It was after this change that I learned of Hopper's works and fell in love. He truly captures the mundane, the private, the lonely, for what it is. However not faded, but in bright colours and with such high contrast, creating this interesting juxtaposition. Love his work. Amazing video!

[@Ayan44]

This is so weird. This painting was on a special edition Marlboro zippo lighter that my dad got over 25 years ago. It was my first introduction with art and there was something that I was drawn to with this painting. I never knew it was called Nighthawks until I watched this. This video just time traveled me back to my childhood. Kinda trippy.

[@philsonslament9955]

Your insight into art is so perceptive and they way you explain is almost artistic in itself. You break down in a way I feel like the artist would want it explained. It’s more than just technique, there’s emotion, and that’s the heart of great works. So happy you’ve been able to turn your passion into a profession and share your views with the world.

[@solitaryman6]

My gratitude for the fact that you respect art as you educate us. From the point of start to the end no advertisements of any such and keeping everything else after the end of the story. Hats off.

[@tolbaszy8067]

Great video! This is also one of my favorites. Inspired this poem: "Encounter in Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" The midnight empty, urban eatery, a bright pool in deserted dark, recalls the advertisement that chose my hat and suit, pledging: "Our fashions arouse passions of colorful desirables." The fit seems smug. Fluorescence lures certain hunger. The lithesome, rose-red lovely, cornered at the curving counter, is lapelled on this same suit- that other guy is wearing. P. Szymkowicz 2002

[@cheese4g]

I absolutely loved this video. I really appreciated the more optimistic and hopeful reading of the painting's "story". I always felt this strange pull towards this painting that I never really understood. Every analysis of the painting that I've read tells me that its themes are lonlieness and sorrow, but I never felt that looking at it. I've always looked at this painting and felt... good. Hearing your thoughts and knowing the context of the WWII era New York that (probably) inspired the darkened world outside the shining beacon of the diner helped me finally give a voice to this feeling. As an introvert who's happiest when I'm alone, I know now why I've always felt kinship with this painting. It shows me that even in isolation, there can be hope.

[@AlienZizi]

There is an interview where they ask Hopper about the lack of an exit or entrance to the diner and he just slams his hat on his knee, and says something along these lines: "Goddammit. I did it again. Fuck. Shit."

[@fifinoirdefer9458]

This channel is amazing and these videos are absolutely beautiful. There's so much depth and life, there isn't words to describe just how elating of an experience learning about these paintings is.

Your description of Hopper’s feeling being aromatic and moody, is spot on. When I was younger, I was more hung up on technique of painters and visual artists, rather than the feeling and what they were trying to communicate. The Columbus Museum of Art has a Hopper, not my favorite, but I often go down to see every couple months just to stare at it for a while. Thanks for this.
