I loved that MFA show and was so happy to attend. They really had an exceptional collection of his works on display.

Truly an American master and a fine example of Modern Art.

If you have a chance ( and forgive me if you know about them ) take a look at the ‘ Ashcan School ‘ of American art. Early 20th century for the most part and just fantastic works.

Hopper was no doubt influenced by them.

I am also very fond of 20th century self taught artists. They paint for the love of it without a thing to prove to anyone.

Counter that with the laugh out loud foolishness of many contemporary artists.
