Art Treasures of Nebraska - Edward Hopper

"Room in New York" (1932). This scene is of detached solitude - a man hunched over in an easy chair, intently reading a newspaper, while a woman, turned away from him, sits stiffly at a piano and striking a key as if to break an awkward silence. The couple's alienation is heightened by a table and door that separate them and lighting that casts shadows on their featureless faces. Scholars consider Room in New York a quintessential painting by Hopper and an art treasure of Nebraska at the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery.

All the prints of this great masterpeice have the wall as a yellow color. As anyone who has seen the painting here or live knows this is incorrect. And it sucks that they do that-print often have little reguard for the color pallet of the original- they must let anyone snap a photo these days.
