Plus odds and sods of lectures on porcelain, gold and silver, illuminated manuscripts etc. But NOT photography. I assume we have greatly changed our thinking about the art of photography in the last 30 years, including at the Whitney.<br /><br />Hopper's paintings are very architectural, aren't they? Even his interiors. Love it!Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-29470091096644904322014-10-17T10:12:52.155+11:002014-10-17T10:12:52.155+11:00I visited the gallery last time I was in Glasgow a...I visited the gallery last time I was in Glasgow and loved it.

His use of light is certainly remarkable, but I'm not sure if the photography comparison really adds something, or is just an excuse for an exhibition. (I clicked a few links, but none of them revealed very much.) <br /><br />Apropos to the recent discussion of individual needs in architecture, I love how in Second Story Sunlight, the Sunbathers in one of the nearly identical houses have adapted it to their special use by adding the porch, which the neighbors to either side had found unnecessary.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.com
