Kick off the exhibition Hopper Drawing: A Painter’s Process with music, fashion, and films that capture Edward Hopper’s America. Dress up in your favorite 1930s or ’40s look, peek into Old School Art School, sip cocktails of the era from the cash bar, and catch a screening of The Savage Eye, which “looks like a Hopper canvas set in motion and filmed in black and white” (New York Times).
