Talk:Sun in an Empty Room

Emotional response
Looking through the literature, this appears to be one of those works that reduces people to tears when they see it in person. I would like to add this to the article if at all possible. Viriditas (talk) 22:25, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Suspense

 * Production designer Robert F. Boyle on the "penultimate moment"; Hitchcock employed Hopper's stye in the development of suspense leading up to the delivery of action
 * "The anticipatory time before [or after] something happens".
 * State or feeling of excited or anxious uncertainty about what may have happened or is about to happen
 * Sun in an Empty Room could depict a room after someone has moved out. Metaphor for death?
 * Video has an archival photo of Hopper painting Sun in an Empty Room with his wife watching him.
 * Oddly, the image credit is dated 1964. According to Levin, he did not paint much that year, if at all.

Provenance
Unknown, but likely discussed in Edward Hopper: A Catalogue Raisonné, which I do not have access to at this time. Viriditas (talk) 08:02, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
