Hopper in Rome
Sunlight on a wall
White glare
Square facade is lit
Stark sharp shape ånd form
In bold geometry
Luminous the shadows lengthen
Backwards cast
Architecture line and light
From eye to heart to hand
Two women for eternity
Turning to the sun
Sea and sail and lighthouse
Cape Cod morning dawning
Dazzle bleached
White glare
Sunlight on a wall
13th March 2010, Hotel Condotti, Rome, for my friend Jude, who made it happen (at last!) Quoted in the exhibition: Hopper 'All I ever wanted to do was to paint sunlight on a wall'
Clearly waiting for Hopper to arrive before our departure! Just need to research where the next Caravaggio's are showing!Thank you Sally, it was wonderful. Judexx
