59 The topic is unexpected but the style is recognizable. The houses in the background, the tunnel and stonework has his signature use of color and brush work. The people have that soft look he is known for: enough detail to be recognizable but still soft and generic. It's the horses that break with expectations. An aspect of life in NYC that no longer exists but did in the 1930s. As soon as I saw Hopper's name I realized it was Central Park. Wouldn't want to go through that tunnel on foot or horseback today.

Hopper, with his style and subjects, is one of the few artists that made NYC palatable. That aspect is long gone.

94 One description claims this show the sentiments left over from the 19th century when NYC was changing rapidly. This was painted in 1939.
Surprisingly the NYC population in 1930 was just under 7.4 million and it's around 8.5 million today. I thought the 2026 number would be much higher. Does that increase of 1.1 million make that much difference in being able to live normally in NYC vs what's going on today with crime, high taxes and all of the other things that progressivism has wrought? I wonder what the demographics were in 1939. Off to do some research.

“Many of the loser children of my wealthy friends who see no way to emulate the success of their parents, have gravitated toward Mamdani-ism and found community and a sense of purpose by rejecting capitalism as a way to cope with their own failure. Please note they have nor however rejected their trust funds or living subsidies while pursuing their ‘passions’ in NGOs, dabbling in the arts or trying to invest their parents money in ‘VC.’

121 Thanks Biff. Not educated in the difference between metro and the balance of NYC. So metro includes the greater area of the tri-state, which includes NJ and CT. Odd way to look at NYC. Might I suggest that NJ and CT hand over their counties that are included in the metro area to NYC so that the balance of the two states could be somewhat normal.

126 I was late in JJ's thread, but I was at a social event this weekend with my wife and a few of her acquaintances. The person the set up the event was talking about how she got her JD with loans of about $60,000. (She's a bit older). She got out of school, went to work for nonprofits and held her loans in abeyance for a long time. Interest accrued to over $200,000. She was thanking Biden for forgiving the loans during Covid. I wanted to pull what little hair I have left out, and tell her you're welcome, on behalf of tax paying citizens. This was the authority that the SC said Biden didn't have. I'm still pissed about it. Nothing but contempt for people like that.

He blamed Lennon for misleading him about the nature of this world, through his music and public pronouncements, and so ruining his life. Also, he was a psycho.

The leaders of his prison group therapy endeavored to get him to understand that he was a useless piece of shit all on his own, not because of Lennon.
