Edward Hopper: The Color of Light

Currently, Dallas Museum of Arts is hosting a exhibition-Hopper Drawing:A painter's process, which shows the drawing process of the American realist artist, Edward Hopper.

Edward Hopper was born in New York. His art works have been described as calm, silent, stoic, luminous, and classic.

In one of his most famous piece, Nighthawks, four customers and a waiter are in a bright diner in the evening. He created it during the wartime, and many people thought the four customers were blocked by the waiter and the world outside, which demonstrated the feeling of most americans during that time.

In the exhibition of Dallas Museum of Arts, the creative process of Morning Sun is on the show. You get to see the painting the way the artist did when he'd just put down his brush.
