Edward Hopper's Iconic Painting Nighthawks Explained in a 7-Minute Video Introduction

In fact, Edward Hopper's 1942 canvas of four figures in a late-night New York City diner may qualify as the most vivid evocation of that country and time in any form. For Evan Puschak, better known as the video essayist Nerdwriter, the experience of Nighthawks goes well beyond the visual realm. "I've always thought of him in a sort of aromatic way," says Puschak of the artist, "because his paintings evoke the same kinds of feelings and memories that I get from the sense of smell, as if he was channeling directly into my limbic system, excavating moments that were stored deeply away. " But Puschak wouldn't have experienced the early 1940s first-hand, much less the turn-of-the-century period in which Hopper grew up. Nor would have most of the people captivated by Nighthawks today, much less those countless appreciators as yet unborn.

Responding to a question about Pokémon Go Cook said that the game had shown that “AR can be really great”. “We have been and continue to invest in AR in the long run,” he said. “We’ll see whether it’s the next computing platform, but regardless it will be huge.” The comments came during an earnings call to discuss the results of the company’s third financial quarter, the three months ending 30 June, in which the company earned $42.4bn in revenue, a 15% decline from the same period last year.

It’s the second consecutive quarter that Apple has reported a revenue decline, following a streak of uninterrupted growth since 2003. The revenue decline was largely credited to a drop in iPhone sales, which typically make up around two-thirds of the company’s revenue.

Banksy: Visionary or Vandal?

You’d probably be mad—unless the culprit was Banksy. The British street artist paints on public and private property around the world, without the permission of property owners. According to the law, Banksy is a vandal so he keeps his real name and identity a secret. However, many have argued that his paintings aren’t graffiti but rather works of art to be admired. In 2013, Banksy declared that he was doing a month-long “residency” in New York City. I am an undocumented immigrant, but I'm a better American than those who spat on me because of my race.

When I was in the first grade, I learned I wasn’t white.

I am an undocumented immigrant, but I'm a better American than those who spat on me because of my race

It was African-American History Month, and my teacher – at one of the many “failing” elementary schools in the Atlanta metro area – instructed us, as part of some poorly-conceived exercise, to raise our hands when she called out our race. I looked around as the black kids raised their hands, then at the timid Japanese twins who sat in the back when Chinese was called out and, when they finally called for the Caucasian kids to raise their hands, my hand vigorously shot up. “You’re not white!” , the kid next to me yelled, and then he started to giggle.
