Nighthawks, 1942 Hopper’s most famous painting. Three customers in a late-night diner are all lost in their thoughts. In the sketch, the densely drawn pen-and-ink lines of the street outside increase our focus on the bright sliver of diner-wall inside.
Edward Hopper's paintings often depict isolation. But as a new book of his sketches reveals, the artist had an unsung − and sometimes waspish − collaborator:
his wife.
