Edward Hopper "Early Sunday Morning" (1930)
Edward Hopper (July 22, 1882 – May 15, 1967) was an American painter, who stayed committed to depicting realism even as Modern art world trends emphasized abstraction.
In honor of his birthday, full sized installations have been created showing some of his most famous images.
"The Meatpacking District's BID and the Whitney will offer 'Step Into Hopper,' their take on the immersive art phenomenon—in this case without massive projections but rather with large-scale, interactive installations based on his most recognizable works. They'll be on display in the nearby Gansevoort Plaza.
"Hopper is known for conveying modern alienation in scenes of American life, whether urban or rural, with psychological subtlety and an ambivalent mood. From press materials, those aren't the moods that will be explored in what is, admittedly, a birthday celebration.
"You'll be able to sit inside the iconic diner depicted in his classic Nighthawks (1942), where there will even be a live barista serving coffee on the weekend while supplies last. ('Unconsciously, probably, I was painting the loneliness of a large city,' the artist said.)"
