Edward Hopper House

This week's photos in our series are on view in the Hopper Happens Juried Photography Exhibition. They capture sunlight falling across buildings, much like the scenes that inspired Edward Hopper.⁣
⁣
He once said, "Maybe I'm not very human. What I wanted to do was paint sunlight on the side of a house."⁣
⁣
For Hopper, light itself was often the subject, transforming ordinary scenes into some of his most memorable paintings.⁣
⁣
Explore all 55 photographs with a self-guided walking tour through downtown Nyack using the Museum's Bloomberg Connects guide, or experience the exhibition online from anywhere. Many of the works are also available for purchase through ArtCall. On view throughout the summer. ⁣

🏆 Announcing the Winners of the Juried Photography Exhibition⁣

Thanks to a generous tourism grant from the Village of Nyack and Visit Nyack, and in partnership with more than 30 downtown businesses, 55 photographs were installed in storefront windows and public spaces throughout downtown Nyack, transforming the village into a museum without walls.⁣

Happy Father's Day! 💙

Pictured here is young Edward Hopper, age 12, with his father, Garret Henry Hopper, in the backyard of their family home circa 1894, now the Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center.

Garret shared his love of books and literature with his son and encouraged Edward's early artistic interests. Rather than steering Edward toward the family dry goods business, Garret recognized his son's artistic gifts and encouraged him to pursue his own path.

Today we celebrate fathers and father figures whose encouragement, guidance, and belief in their children help shape the lives they lead.

This week’s images in our series explore one of the most recognizable motifs in Edward Hopper’s work: windows.⁣⁣
⁣
Presented as part of the Juried Photography Exhibition on view throughout downtown Nyack through July 5, these contemporary photographs by artists from around the world capture the light, mood, solitude, and quiet tension associated with Hopper’s work. ⁣
⁣
For Hopper, windows were never just architectural details. They were a space of reflection, observation, separation, and stillness between interior and exterior worlds.⁣⁣
