Urban

Diners, markets, ballgames and city streets fill these scenes, caught at the counter, on the sidewalk, or at the edge of the crowd. Light falls hard in some, like the late-night glow of "Nighthawks" by Edward Hopper, while others turn busy public life into pattern and color. The mood shifts between quiet isolation and packed, noisy activity.
