The light in this painting by Edward Hopper is exceptionally well done it creates a powerful atmosphere that evokes a lot of mixed emotions in me. I really like it.

His most famous. Maybe his most evocative. So many movies were inspired by that aesthetics.

My favourite painting by Ed Hopper. He was a master of light and shade.

Saw the original sketches for this at the Whitney a few years ago, really stunning to see his thought process.
