Disturbingly domesticated former NYer living on the outskirts of the Chicago metro area. Mildly allergic to jukebox musicals. Your Merman may vary. This isn't me being gay; it's science.

The Mansard Roof (1923) showed how fast Hopper could paint light out in the open. The Brooklyn Museum purchased it in 1923, marking his breakthrough from illustration to acclaim.

Our holiday has been very disappointing. The Chalet is not very good, and the weather has been awful. I should hate to live here, winter must be dreadful. All good wishes Fred & Elsie

There is a particular agony you experience while reading a book about a topic of interest. but generally find the book poorly written. Oh well, I made it this far; may as well push through to the end.

From Williamsburg Bridge (1928) locks smokestacks and building edges into rigid forms beneath a muted sky. A lone woman appears in a top-floor window, but the mass of masonry overwhelms her. Hopper shows how industrial geometry can outweigh human presence.

I roasted some cherry tomatoes from the garden today and the juices were so sweet that the parchment paper was caramelized to the baking sheet. Farewell to a decades-old kitchen stalwart.
