    Wikipedia has a higher quality version of the painting, click the image in the article to see it.

      Yeah, it's great on my desktop. Love the article (well, both of them).

      Always had a great nostalgia for this image. Is it just me, or do other night owls find it soothing, quiet, and productive for deep thoughts? (Even if it's just thoughts about games.)

    For Hopper fans - the movie "Shirley: Visions of Reality" is a series of vignettes based on Hopper's paintings. Veeeeeery slow, but quite rewarding if you're into this sort of thing.

    Man, fuck this website. Opened on mobile and trying to admire the painting and I get 4 popups in a row obscuring it every few seconds. Fuck whoever designed that and doubly fuck whoever signed off on it. Absolutely abhorrent behaviour that is totally hostile and disrespectful to both the user and to the material being presented.
