Visual Art Currently Hanging
Posted by Jen Graves on Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 11:58 AM
A double shot for today and Friday, and because I want to look at these two portraits of boxed light right next to each other.
Top: Richard Barnes's Smithsonian Ungulate (2005), photograph, 20 by 24 inches, 40 by 50 inches, or 48 by 72 inches
At Howard House. (Gallery site here.)
Bottom: Edward Hopper's Summer Evening (1947), oil on canvas, 30 by 42 inches
At SAM. (Museum site here.)

Hopper's work evokes such nostalgia in me. It really can over power me at times. It's not that it is disturbing but the opposite. It seems the less he says, the more he moves me.
