The painting in the middle of the light table is titled Chop Suey, from 1929, and it's the centerpiece of a small, brilliant exhibition of works by Edward Hopper at the Seattle Art Museum. The show is "Edward Hopper's Women," but it could also be called "Restaurants" because that's where half the images are set: women meeting a lover, a friend, or eating alone. This glimpse into American cultural history is described in great detail on SAM's website.
And just down the street, at the Hotel 1000'sStudio Bar, you can do something SAM would never let you try: get your hands on the art. They've installed one of Seattle's first tabletop computers that lets you shuffle and enlarge the images to your heart's content. "Urban bites" and flights of wine, too, Thursday-Saturday afternoons.
