My favorite is still Edward Hopper.

I wanted to reply earlier, but I haven't been by the computer for long enough until now.

Hopper is awesome. There is always an intense loneliness and what we see as nostalgia in his works. And yet the daylight often mitigates this loneliness. This Nighthawks is different, more bleak somehow without the daylight.

Yes. One always sees Nighthawks, but I prefer his early morning cityscapes.

Now that you posted the links to your other articles, I can look.

This looks like a setting for a complete Film Noir.
