    40s music is such a deeply comforting thing for me. Reminds me of my childhood at my grandma’s house. I’m only in my 20s but my grandparents’ house was frozen in time since the 70s, and the only shows I’d be watching all day were Tom and jerry, 90s Batman episodes, the hundreds of tv shows from the 50s that my dad had, etc. the old radios, TVs, phones, rooms, furniture. Etc. I’d spend my summers and winters there as a kid and get engulfed in this nostalgic era

    Edward Hopper grew up in my home town, and his residence has since been turned into an exhibit. I am spoiled in that from an early age I have been exposed to his work and legacy firsthand. His breadth of work is simply astounding and accurately captures all the goods and bads of an America before the age of communication; an America where most people were alone. When he was nine years old, Hopper made a portrait on the back of his school report card. It was a self portrait of his nine-year-old self, alone, looking over an empty Hudson River. I'm convinced that the sense of lonesome melancholy is an innate part of the soul, and contextualizes the greater majesty of the world. I like to believe that the isolation in his painting isn't a sad one. Instead, the isolation is a seamless experience for the lone figures, akin to watching the sun rise from a mountaintop, or finding the simple beauty of a street corner lit only by moonlight and vacant shops. It's a feeling you can only experience if you're alone, even if you're with other people; a small glimpse into a fragile moment, otherwise unassuming when in company. Similar can be said of your music selections! Thank you for creating this playlist and pairing each track with a painting. Such a beautiful and unique emotion you've captured here!

      "I like to believe that the isolation in his painting isn't a sad one" - Yes! It always frustrates me when I read critics putting a negative emotional spin on Hopper's work, it is melancholy, but there is a certain warmth in understanding that this is a shared feeling. For me, his work evokes a kind of reflective, cosy loneliness. He captures moments we all experience where, for a brief moment, we seem to exist outside and apart from the passing of time.

    We used to have a poster of "Gas" by edward hopper, I was fascinated by it as a child. There's such a profound 'emptiness' in his paintings, it feels like there's something missing, I think it has something to do with the lighting and the lack of movement that give it that melancholic feel. I have at times attempted painting a similar scene, but can never quite get it right...

    • @2lizard559
      @2lizard559 2 ปีที่แล้ว +69

      Most of them seem to also depict liminal spaces; they are views that you should witness while passing by, focused on your destination. I believe this makes them feel so cold -- one expects the woman on the bed in the morning sun to get up and perform her daily duties any minute, and in the first image you are probably on your way home after a late night event, tired and eager to sleep. When moments usually so brief captured forever in a painting, the painting preserves the feeling of emptiness and slight anxiety that are usually felt in such moments, and as the painting awkwardly prolongs the moments, it adds a sense of eeriness. It feels like you have broken the fourth wall of reality when you take in the mundane as if it was important. These moments don't exist in our daily lives; they disappear as soon as we reach our destination. We don't associate any feelings or interesting experiences with them; when connecting the scenes to your memories, it is like you are trying to access a feeling that you have never felt.

  • @mtnwriter4011
    @mtnwriter4011 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I experience two sides to Hopper's paintings: The first is that sense of loneliness and isolation I read so much about, the other is of being on the cusp of something expansive and inclusive -- what can't be experienced unless/until one is "initially" lonely and isolated. Upon crossing that divide, he can then be anywhere, and it doesn't matter. What he sees from then on never goes away. Hopper brings that incredibly deep juxtaposition through austere simplicity. An ordinary street corner becomes almost Zen-like, a meditation on lines, angles, and shadows.

    8:35 Recently I got a job and moved into a new apartment, its nothing fancy but its much better and bigger than the small overpriced studios i was staying in for years. Everybody congratulated me and expected me to be excited/happy about it. Not that I specifically wasn't; I knew rationally that it was a great achievement and I knew it was better than the ones before, which would bring me comfort in the long run. In those moments however, it just didn't feel....great? It didn't feel, for a lack of a better word, special? I was just sorta... there. Not having a sense of achievement, nor happiness, just simply being.
    I was so tired after the house-hunting, the stuff-moving and the yet-to-unpack boxes that I couldn't even properly enjoy it, perhaps. So that day I just sat in my bed, no sheets on it, looking at the big window I have in front of me. There are trees and little houses in front. I can't say I was feeling much, besides the physical sensations of tiredness. I didn't feel overwhelmed (with joy or whatever) like expected, nor underwhelmed (guilt tripping myself for being numb or "not thankful"). I just accepted that I moved into a new place, and took a moment to relax. This is exactly what this painting means to me. The woman is nor happy nor sad, she is just there. Not out of place, not really integrated into the space either. Perhaps tired, perhaps just being, in between seconds of existence. A small moment that will pass by and be forgotten amongst other major events in life. But a real moment nonetheless, where we don't know exactly what we feel or think and isn't that the purest of emotions, not being able to comprehend it nor put it into words.

  • @renstar100

    It's amazing how his paintings give off the feeling of emptiness and loneliness while still containing enough detail to be considered realism and also, still, including people. This phenomenon has always interested me and recently has also interested the internet. Specifically with the concept of liminal spaces. This is a concept I find that I can easily get lost in on my own and not need anyone else to share the same interest but since the concept is, in itself, so lonely I feel that not having anyone to explain this feeling to, makes the art almost pointless as if it is a beauty that I have to keep to myself.
    I remember when I first discovered Edward Hopper maybe last year, it was Nighthawks as the cover for a relaxing study video that played oldies over the rain. It came up on youtube suggested and my girlfriend said that she studied the painting at school however I misheard her and thought she said she studied to the video. When I put it on she mentioned that the cars (which the creator had added in as an animation) weren't there previously, I clicked that she meant she had the painting as an artwork to study for her class. I then sat watching the video and listened to the music and then eventually went on to just looking at some of his works online I was amazed by them even though its pretty simple paintings compared to some others. The feeling it made me feel at the time was like no other. I had previously been pretty deep into the rabbit hole of so-called liminal spaces and the concept of the backrooms where it all came from however this was the most intense feeling of this that I had ever felt from simply looking at these works of art.
    I watch a TH-camr called the librarian who makes videos where he explores community-created maps for the game gmod which are based on the concept of liminal spaces. I think the feeling that you get from liminal spaces which you also get from Hopper's paintings is a very odd one to describe. I personally feel as if its complete dread that we can be living in such a plain dull world but that feeling that even though the world is so bland it fills me with bliss because of all the amazing things that happen despite that dullness. The Librarian has a good way of being able to put it into words as I'm sure he has good practice for it as he has to do it for his videos. He came up with a concept that I think is the best way to broadly describe the feeling. The Creepy Comfy concept he came up with is that Creepy and Comfy are very much related. I think this a very good theory for this feeling and my explanation for this is that creepy images and concepts are usually normal things with something slightly ascue to the norm like a person with a strange face. It's similar in the way your house is comfy when it's your own furnishings and decor however if it's derelict and empty it would be creepy.
    Whenever I get this feeling for whatever reason; a rainy lazy day, an empty street that would normally be busy, or a calming song plays while I'm alone in the house and I look over the city I can just about see the skyline of from my parent's bedroom window, I feel that it often comes with a feeling of existentialism too. A feeling that if Edward Hopper's paintings can convey exactly the way he viewed the world and felt about things in a specific way and it doesn't matter that he has since passed away and Images of his painting still convey that feeling to me that it doesn't really matter what mark we leave on earth because even if it's not you who specifically created the painting or artwork or even the city skyline that gives people the same feeling it gave you, that feeling will still live on in others even if you didn't contribute to it. If I had to summarise it I would say these feelings I get prove that no matter what mark I leave the next generations will feel the same way I do so a part of me carries on through that.
    I find the afterlife to be a hard concept to believe it however I hope that if Edward Hopper can see this that he knows that his artwork has been able to do exactly what he intended for it to do and I hope that he finds some comfort in that. I also hope that anyone else reading this who also gets the same feeling I have talked about can be happy to know that although you might feel lonely and that might be exactly what you wanted to be feeling anyway that other people do share that same feeling and its one of the best to have.

    I remember having to analyze this painting for one my classes. Everything just looks so empty. However despite how dark the painting may appear to some people, I still find beauty in it. It shows two people sitting by, casually having drinks. There’s this other man sitting on the left side, left with no one to talk to. Honestly it just seems so lonely when there’s not a lot of people around. It feels isolating. The colors seem dull. In contrast to other paintings where there’s usage of bright color palettes, this one seems to be lacking just that. Overall, I’d probably hung a replica of that particular painting in my space somewhere. I just admire the atmosphere kind of.

      There are no people contacting each other in his paintings. All characters depicted in his pictures are... "isolated", as they don't speak and don't even look at each other. This makes you feel the emptiness I guess. Or feeling that something doesn't seem right.

    • @soggycardboardbox
      @soggycardboardbox ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I just looked up the painting on your recommendation. What a beautiful, melancholy piece of art.
      The office building the man sits in is painfully beige. There's no glass in the windows, so he's both juxtaposed against and inseparable from the brown mundanity that surrounds him. I love the very faint glow in the distance. It's like hope is just barely obstructed -- it's just out of reach but it's along the man's sight line, so your eye can't help but be drawn to it. It's success yearning for success. Life yearning for life.
      I've lived in a small city like this for most of my life. Maybe I'm projecting my experience onto the painting, but it made me feel real feelings! Thanks for expanding my horizons.

    This is my first time seeing Hopper's masterpieces and I just sit here feeling this really strange feeling of loneliness and nostalgia. The paintings almost seem like a dream and very distant as if I were an invisible spectator viewing the mundane everyday life or being alone in confined spaces or seeing the world in black and white when technology has not taken over the world. Just being alone can be very lonely and like a ghost, but at the same time being alone can make you feel refreshed with your thoughts as you just contemplate and let the world go by. Also, the use of contrast in his masterpieces is what makes his masterpieces a masterpiece, so dull yet so bright and dream like.

      I just turned 83 and this is the most amazing experience I have ever seen and had. Edward Hopper has always been my favorite artist

    Thanks SO MUCH for doing a playlist for one of my all-time favourite paintings ever. Now I can relax and imagine I'm sitting at the bar like the other dude.

      Here you go, this the real creator some love.
