"Nighthawks" a painting by Edward Hopper.
"Edward Hopper, the best-known American realist of the inter-war period, once said: 'The man's the work. Something doesn't come out of nothing.' This offers a clue to interpreting the work of an artist who was not only intensely private, but who madesolitude and introspection important themes in his painting."

Denis referred to four old Dockers from previous times who attended the Tall Ships race at Liverpool Albert Docks. The closest I can get to this is a video on this event but not the Dockers.

In my opinion this was a very good session. It was interesting because everyone was involved in telling a story about how they experienced art. Some works of art were described in terms of the emotional effect on the observer but we also explored why our emotions were influenced.
The plate had a predicatable geometrical element but this was combined with a randomness in the thickness of the lines.
Some observers made spiritual connections with their art whereas others experienced an empathy with the characters observed or enjoyed the richness of the colours or the strength of the form.
A variety of experiences explained well.
