Hopper - American Master

I've blogged a few times about the great 20th century painter Edward Hopper whose brilliant portraits of every life in NYC are truly timeless.

There was a great exhibit of Hopper's work at the Whitney Museum last year that I reviewed and now there's a new American Masters documentary about his life (and fraught marriage) running on PBS.

I've seen it and its mesmerizing, much like Hopper's work itself. You get the sense that he and his wife (an accomplished painter in her own right) were perhaps a little bit on the spectrum, they were definite oddballs -- but the work they created was amazing.
