Masterbate With Vaseline?

Barber Shop, 1931

Edward Hopper, Barber Shop, 1931. This was seen Muñoz Molina.

this morning, at the Whitney, I appreciated more the presence of a bank because it has allowed me to slow down a box look Hopper could not remember ever seeing in reality, large format, bright colors, with a these compositions of his that give an impression of naturalness or chance and yet they are full of oddities: Barber Shop, 1931. Certainly is a photogenic picture, as would Genoese, but do not think any photo will do justice: Midi clarity is the one on the wall clock comes from the street through the large storefront window and dazzle the white walls and the barber's jacket, and makes clean green uniform of his assistant, responsible for the manicure, which uses a truce leisure to get lost in reading a magazine. Perhaps most amazing of all is the mirror, which should reflect the client's face being care: but the mirror is a stain, color gauze pierced by light, and an oval face is stripped of features, a presence so alien, so tight, as the barber who is almost back to us or assistant leaning over the magazine. Blue shadows give shape to the volume of things, diagonally divided space: each target has its own tone, texture, accurate, always austere.
