1. My favorite American painter.

I flew to NYC after college to see an exhibit of his work at the Whitney Museum. Wonderful memories.

3. Thank you for this

Hopper is probably my favorite American artist. I have always loved his paintings and I've always been drawn to the stark lonely beauty of his work. Learning the inspiration behind these works is fascinating.

4. One of Hopper's paintings is in a museum in the city where I live.

I would go every few months just to look at it.

7. There is a photorealist named Bob Bechtle who said Hopper was a big influence on him

He taught at San Francisco State University, but I never had him as a teacher.
