I never heard of the 1942 painting, but I’ll have to readily admit that it was an impressive work of art.
Vj, you posted the incorrect picture. The pic you posted is Chop Suey, not Nighthawks.
Thank you. I was really confused when I saw this.
That’s the cover of a book about more of his works than just Nighthawks, Albert. I wanted to put that there since the painting is on the article I linked to. Anyhow, I changed where the link to the article is to make it more clear that the painting is over there.
Nevermind about the book. I took it off and put up a video to show more of his works.
Didn’t mean to confuse anyone.
Thanks for posting the video. It was a pleasant surprise to hear it accompanied by my favorite Schubert piece.
Congrats to everyone on getting final right. Oh and VJ do you remember the customers bogart, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe? And there was Elvis the joke salesman. So many great memories. There is a possible rematch between Ryan bilger and sam kavanaugh later this week.
And then there were 7.
