Curiosity
Ask me anything   Submit   Even if life as a whole is meaningless, perhaps that’s nothing to worry about.
— Thomas Nagel

“A visual bard of ordinary life, Hopper imposed a thudding ordinariness on painting. The strangeness of this quality must be contemplated directly, and in quantity, for its radical character to register at full force. It is the basis of his universal accessibility. Laying the cards of his intention face up, it inspires rare trust, which steadies our minds to receive the living truths that the pictures tell.” - Peter Schjeldahl on Edward Hopper
