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.
