I've always loved this painting: Chop Suey by Edward Hopper. In my college dorm room I had a postcard of the image taped above my desk. Today I had the chance
to see it in person. Brighter and larger than I expected, I was surprised how fresh and new the women looked to me despite their familiarity.
Edward Hopper has long been a favorite of mine. Some of his 20th century paintings have legendary status for good reason. (Nighthawks for example.) This is New York Movie, painted in the 1940s. What do you supposed the usherette is thinking about, alone in the dark?
