The Mythical New York of Edward Hopper

For years, Edward Hopper lived and painted in Greenwich Village, and his vast trove of artwork -- much of it acquired by his friend Grace Vanderbilt Whitney as the core of the Whitney Museum collection -- depicts his life in New York over the years. But the NYC that Hopper depicted isn't always accurate -- or even real. This talk will focus on Hopper's views of the city from the mega-famous (like the Art Institute of Chicago's "Nighthawks") to obscure drawings and sketches that reveal a city that both never existed and is all-too real.
