1972 Chevrolet C20 and Edward Hopper



From Alex Emond: "Here's a setting that, although it's Saskatchewan, reminds me of Edward Hopper. Did Hopper drive a Chevy?"
Maybe the photo is reminiscent because there is so much space in Hopper, as in Saskatchewan. So much empty. Sparse people. He certainly pays attention to the light.
Edward Hopper House with Dead Trees (1932)

Maybe this is a Chevrolet...

Not a lot of vehicles in Hopper's ouevre. But I like these touring cars. Given the granite ledges, this must be Maine.
