    When I was a student Steve came to my campus, he was doing a lot of barn storming
    at that time. He took about thirty students across the street to a Macdonalds and
    ordered one french fry, it was hilarious!

      There is no "almost jealous" for me. Steve has a great appreciation for the finest works.
      And that Art curator was correct. Most of Hopper's work is an enigma, painted to evoke an uneasiness and empty feeling.

      Well glad to hear your interpretation.

    That period of art.. Hopper, Kent, Bellows represented the clinical depression of the 1940’s. It was the American offshoot from the insipid Impressionists.
    Then thankfully, came Andrew Wyeth who became the classical master that was the paradigm of Germanic culture in his small environment.

    Steve should sway you with how he swindled Teri Garr of a packet of money. He "helped her out" & took a very expensive painting off her hands. She was young & niave about the value of what she owned. She was s struggling actress, needed rent $, and her "buddy" helped her out. He still owns her, (very valuable), painting.
