Edward Hopper
July 22, 1882 – May 15, 1967
It was a short walk from Hopper's home on Washington Square to the Loew's Sheridan at West 12 Street in Greenwich Village and from there to the Crawford Lunch (one of the inspirations for Nighthawks).
He loved going to the films. For Hopper, as for so many others, it was a place of refuge, an escape from the everyday.
“When I don’t feel in the mood for painting I go to the movies for a week or more. I go on a regular movie binge!"
--Edward Hopper, quote from the New York Times
