Soir Blue @ the Whitney

So I had never seen Edward Hopper‘s Soir Blue before I saw it at the Whitney last month with my sister. It’s definitely my favorite piece by Hopper mostly for the absurdist initial impression you get as well as the combination of characters in the scene. I hadn’t been to an opening for a while so it was nice to finally get to the Whitney. They were also showcasing their Summer of Love exhibit which had some neat pieces but was more a collection of the history than purely an art show (at least that’s how it felt to me). I did enjoy the museum although we didn’t have that much time to check everything out.
