The first painting, empty corner, is not only about the space but is full of stories... If the walls could speak... that is part of what Hopper do: he listen to the walls and depicts the scene so to speak. You can see at the paintings that are in a room. Windows, lots of windows... and I just remembered Vermeer.
Picture yourself in a gallery and enjoy.
"Edward Hopper loved to ride the elevated train through the city at night. As the apartment buildings raced by in the dark, he would catch flashes of unearned intimacy: lonely people staring at the walls... desperate couples... people whose privacy was protected only by their anonymity.Sometimes I think that artists, like philosophers, are keyhole peepers at heart. They are observers, once-removed from the primacy of experience by the burden of consciousness."David Apatoff
