Hope with Hopper

Nighthawks, still my favorite painting

I like this man and woman: deeply thinking

While the whole world around seems fading

Simon said "Finding your way by getting lost"

I am afraid everyone around looks like a ghost

Lately, I've been closing my eyes in the subway

Up, down, over, I can't breathe during the day

I wish I was on a beach far away

What happened to you Big Apple?

Please get rid of those useless people

 Move on, be simple and real

Hopefully I live in my bubble

Where my heart is open

But my mind is broken

I need some glue

Or maybe just a screw

Or

Just let it go

Go with the flow

Let the magic happen

Maybe keep a weapon...

New York, mon amour

T'aimerais-je encore et toujours? 

Paintings such as Nighthawks (Art Institute of Chicago, 1942) convey a mood of loneliness and desolation by their emptiness or by the presence of anonymous, non-communicating figures. But of this picture Hopper said: `I didn't see it as particularly lonely... Unconsciously, probably, I was painting the loneliness of a large city.' Deliberately so or not, in his still, reserved, and blandly handled paintings Hopper often exerts a powerful psychological impact. (http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/hopper/)
