An article over at mentalfloss.com explains that yesterday was Edward Hopper's 126th birthday. I've grown incredibly fond of Hopper's work lately--probably through conversations about it with my father, who says Hopper is his favorite painter. In fact, right now I am having four prints of his paintings framed to hang in my office on campus (which could use some decorating). Anyway, the brief article has some cool info about Hopper including this quotation: "Hopper once said of his fascination with light, 'Maybe I am slightly inhuman
… all I ever wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house.'"
