It’s not so much that Edward Hopper was a product of the city he loved. It’s more that Hopper’s paintings of New York took on such a life of their own that it is almost impossible to conjure up a mental picture of the Big Apple without at least a little bit of Hopper in it. “Nearly four decades after his death, and many decades after he created some of his most evocative works, Hopper sites and Hopper moments can still be found everywhere in this city of steel bridges, concrete walls, asphalt roadways, old warehouses, empty roofs, brick buildings and small rooms.”
