Night Hawks - Depicting an Era with Timeless Resonance



I snapped the photo above a couple of years ago at the Art Institute of Chicago. I am amazed I could get so close to this original painting by Edward Hopper. The composition, draftsmanship, technique and expression is so masterful. I can see why this is such a beloved and iconic painting.

A movie still of Night Hawks that was featured in 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
