We're in a birthday acknowledgment mood--it makes things easier, yes. So today, it is Edward Hopper (1882-1967), American painter. This is Cape Cod Morning (1950), in the collection at the Smithsonian's American Art Museum. American Art's nicely done An Edward Hopper Scrapbook & Artcyclopedia's page on Hopper painting holdings world-wide.
*Before we take a break, all information regarding Darfur Baskets & their acquisition-by-you will be posted on the front page.
