"It’s that sense of isolation (...) that gives the paintings a strange, voyeuristic intimacy. It’s as if the viewer is peering through a window at night, watching people in their houses and apartments or in public places, catching them in their most private, most vulnerable, and most true moments." (in "The Shared Loneliness of Edward Hopper", https://somethinglooseknit.wordpress.com/2011/07/07/the-shared-loneliness-of-edward-hopper/)
