"Queensborough Bridge" by Edward Hopper
Houston, we have a problem! This is the best the American GNAY can do? The most important realist painter of the 20th century and this is all he has? I feel his pain as he obscured the far side with mist. Too bad he didn’t do the same with the near side! I may have been a tad hasty this week when I threw down the “bridge painting gauntlet”. My peers, some of which are pretty good painters, are really struggling with this subject and I fear I may be in over my head. Note to self: More water. More mist. More wine!
