"we can turn nighthawks to dayhawks" Hopper shaking his head

What I feel is a sense of loneliness in the 1950s at 1:00am with some quiet conversations and little laughter, the sound of coffee or beer being poured into a cup, hearing the light buzz because it’s quiet enough to hear, and hearing rain outside hitting the pavement (even though it’s not raining in the portrait)

Yes. I'd note though, New York City in 1942 that licenses, regulations were strict, and taxes for bars and such were fairly high. It had been less than ten years since Prohibition, and while many places gladly accepted all that overhead for in exchange for the extra money, most late night diners did not. I think learning about New York of the time actually helps with appreciation here. For a certain period, art critics wanted to separate painter's biography from the artwork, but in cases like this, I think it helps to know the New York streets Hopper was wandering on late nights. It makes me feel closer to the work, anyways.

All that effort and they didn't even notice that in "Nighthawks", the barman is *talking to the man and woman* at the bar. His mouth is open and he's looking right at them, talking to them while he puts away dishes. In the "A.I. recreation" of the barman, you closed the barman's mouth, changing the entire moment and scene of the painting. And you don't get to just create elements that don't exist in the painting. The mystery of what's there is part of what makes the painting beautiful; this isn't theory, it's literally just making a new painting *based* on "Nighthawks" with new elements. That's not theory, it's just wild extrapolation. While that aspect of it may be arguable, the fact that this effort apparently didn't even look at the barman's mouth shows how careless it really was, relying on "A.I." instead of doing actual human work and paying attention.

The diner is an aquarium - inside made available visually while remaining "cut-off" physically. Possibly the best articulation of Hopper's life-long preoccupation with inside vs. outside: the street in the background is viewed simultaneously from the outside (the left section) and through the medium of the bubble of the diner (the right section) - the outside being viewed through an inside.

The technology is amazing, but maybe unnecessary. It was already in its perfect form. An interpretation that is just as valid this was when that 70’s show used it as part of a scene . If you enjoy this ,OK , but something that could be cool is if someone makes a short movie just based on the scene.

In creating this work of art Hopper is telling the world that he is a master of creation and light and you who are talking in this video are just trying to worm your way in with words. while He used his talent with his hand, pulling from his brain and his heart and he did not do it for you to talk about it he did it for me to enjoy its beauty of it in its simplicity and it has, as he intended, fulfilled its purpose.

Why would you do any of this? Surely not for any artistic reason, as giving more context to the figures in the image take away part of the point of the image which made it so great! So I'm guessing this had to be for technical proof of concept reasons, but even then there are far more images out there that would better serve to show the true potential of the tech. Don't get me wrong the techs cool, but application feels flawed.
@christopherpearson76124 жыл бұрын
So to the first of your points ... you are completely right. This was always about offering new ways in which to experience existing artworks and less about the creation of new pieces. This pilot is very much a technical investigation into how narrative structures and technology could offer a new way to navigate art. It was also a proposed narrative and far from a finite definition, something Dr James Fox is a master of. To your second point … why Nighthawks? When we initially looked at painting, we wanted to consider narratives that were never fully revealed by the artists. Paintings that had open and speculated questions that we could investigate through our new perspective. There was a pretty large shortlist of possible paintings (too long to list), but we were drawn to Nighthawks by his use of light, cinematic framing and stark stillness of a captured moment. As the project was also made possible by Covid friendly virtual production techniques, it seemed apt to use Hopper's isolated individuals, a feeling that seemed to mirror the zeitgeist of the moment.

@@christopherpearson7612 Great explanation, and the part where the perspective shows the actual shape of the building, with it showing how critics have been wrong for years does proof that these technologies are very useful. However Jamie Cozier has a strong point here, there is perhaps something ethically wrong with answering questions about artworks, since artworks (especially from that era) often were made to rather raise then answer questions. A work by Bacon would lose its purpose if you would analyse it fully, such is with many more. Yet again these technologies are amazing just as this video, what a mind-blowing production wow. And if I may give one suggestion dive into the works of Hieronymus Bosch, that would be terrifying yet very fascinating.

Fearing attack by the Nazis, New Yorkers were subject to blackout drills and dimmed lights in public spaces. Hopper’s walks were thus taken around a city literally and figuratively darkened by crisis. He later recalled how this darkness inspired Nighthawks and imagined what it would be like to come across a brightly lit diner in the middle of the night, with people-the “nighthawks”-within.

I think its fascinating that this recreation can determine based on body positioning etc where the man’s other hand was. Now thats not to say that Hopper’s intention was to make the viewer speculate but its reasonable to assume Hopper would draw the character in an least a natural balanced pose. Hopper had a very “unique” relationship with his wife. Sometimes they were devoted and other times they were cats and dogs. Its interpretive but “close but not touching” on one level while close under the table where only the couple knows whats happening might be Hopper representing his own marriage. It could have been a subconscious decision. Separately i always wonder what the busboy is doing. What requires him to lean over and have both arms extended. He likely has one leg in front of the other for balance. It doesnt seem like a pose to just wash coffee mugs.
