When I went in 1993 to buy the new Bruce Hornsby release cd, the entire cover was this painting, Hopper’s Rooms by the Sea. The name of the album was Harbor Lights. I always wondered what hoops he had to jump through to get that secured but he did it and gave us a renewed appreciation for the album cover art we used to enjoy as we listed to new music.
Having grown up in New York City, Tar Beach really speaks to me. I also love her use of the contrast between the warm border colors and the cool center colors. There is both visual depth, and emotional depth in this piece.
I love you comments on all the works and it especially made me look at the Homer and muse on the Knapp, thanks for that.
