In 'City Roofs,' (1932) Edward Hopper's earnest and slightly romantic representation of a seemingly mundane subject matter set him apart from his contemporaries and allowed him to create a new and uniquely American iconography.

It’s Eric Ravilious’ birthday today: he was born in Acton #OTD in 1903, although he spent his young life in Eastbourne after his family moved to #Sussex. It’s wonderful there are so many of us who continue to appreciate his work. Long may it continue!
