Post 43 of my favorite works of art

Nighthawks
Edward Hopper, 1942
Oil on canvas
84.1 cm × 152.4 cm (33.1 in × 60 in)
Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois

I find something so beautiful and so melancholy about this painting… I think it is the idea of loneliness and isolation that Hopper plays with. Maybe it is the gloominess of the night and the city outside of the diners lights. Each patron seems so inside themselves, lost to the night inside their own heads. I would love to see this painting in person one day.

Campbell’s Soup I, 1968

I love Pop art! And I have loved Andy Warhol since I was in my early teens. I think his silkscreens are just outta this world and his art speaks to me for some reason. I am sure I will have more of his works on my 43 list, he is just amazing!

The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh, 1889
Oil on canvas
73 × 92 cm, 28¾ × 36¼ in
Museum of Modern Art, New York City

I’m sure this is a fav. for a lot of people! Probably my favorite work by Van Gogh, although I find all his works just amazing! I want to go to NYC and see it soon, although I hear it is going to travel sometime soon but go back to Moma after that. The blues are so lovely, and his signature swirls are truly original! I have a print of this painting and just looking at it makes me smile!

The Scream
(Norwegian: Skrik)
Edvard Munch, 1893
Oil, tempera, and pastel on cardboard
91 × 73.5 cm
National Gallery, Oslo

I have loved this painting for years! This work of art completely express’s how I have felt inside. Torment, pain, longing, anxiety… The colors are just mesmerizing to me, the fluidity of the sky is visually stunning. The face is so haunting and this image is ingrained in my mind. I wish to see it in person one day! Hopefully it doesn’t get stolen again!
