Edward Hopper died today – 40 years ago

Edward Hopper, born on July 22, 1882, died on May 15, 1967. He was a realistic painter in the U.S., but not of houses – I don’t think. But I guess he could have been – when he ran out of other things to paint. Anyway, I’ve looked at some of his paintings on line. They don’t seem to be anything I couldn’t do – if I could paint.

A U.S. poet named Emily Dickinson, born on December 10, 1830, died in 1886. A U.S. singer named Frank Sinatra, born on December 12, 1915, died in 1998. You may have heard of one of them.
