This July, The Cape Ann Museum in Gloucester, Massachusetts, hosts Edward Hopper & Cape Ann: Illuminating an American Landscape, the first major exhibition to explore Hopper’s connection to Cape Ann during his formative years as an artist. Visitors will be treated to 65 works that include paintings, prints and drawings assembled from collections housed at Whitney Museum of American Art; Brooklyn Museum; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; National Gallery of Art, Washington DC; private lenders; and other institutions.

“This inaugural partnership with the Whitney Museum of American Art as a leading national institution is a first for the Cape Ann Museum,” said Oliver Barker, director, Cape Ann Museum. “Edward Hopper & Cape Ann marks the centennial of the summer of 1923 when Edward Hopper created watercolors that earned his first critical acclaim, and laid the foundation for future success as one of the greatest 20th century American landscape painters.”

Hopper’s first visit to Cape Ann followed an invitation by an artist friend and eventually resulted in an impressive body of work exploring the area’s renowned natural light that had so captured other artists, including Winslow Homer (1836–1910), Fitz Henry Lane (1804–1865) and Theresa Bernstein (1890–2002). His visit also led to a meeting with his future wife, artist/actress Jo Verstille Nivison (Hopper), which involved a missing cat. It was Jo who advised Hopper to make this trek from New York with watercolors, which were easier to transport than oil paints. It was also Jo who proved instrumental in Hopper’s paintings of Gloucester being included with her own work in Brooklyn Museum’s second major biennial focusing on American watercolors.

The exhibition will feature 57 pieces by Hopper, seven by Jo Hopper and one by their instructor Robert Henri. As part of the special exhibition, a six-part lecture series and a day-long symposium are planned. Visit the museum website for details, including speakers, topics, times and dates. The museum is located at 27 Pleasant St. in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

Homer and Janet by Homer Review

The Marais District, covering swaths of Paris’ 3rd and 4th arrondissments, has a distinctively gritty glamour that reveals it to be one of the city’s great incubators for new French food, fashion and lifestyle trends. It is here Moïse Sfez took on the challenge of creating street food establishments Homer in 2017 and Janet by Homer in 2022, doing it in such a way they both transcend the novelty of being regional American comfort food offered at stylized lunch counters matching up with New England lobster shacks and New York delis. Overwhelming local response and Sfez winning the 2018 Lobster Roll World’s Championship title in Portland, Maine, solidified him as a Paris restaurateur and one of France’s hottest culinary stars.

Review: InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown

ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: Shortly after 1 p.m., our Uber driver delivered my husband and me to the drive-up entrance of the Wilshire Grand building, the tallest building on the West Coast and home to InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown. Attentive valets greeted us and directed us to the dedicated elevator, which whisked us up to the 70th-floor lobby. Though it was early afternoon, our room was ready, and the desk staff checked us in quickly and directed us to the elevator to our 53rd-floor room. We strolled past several comfortable seating areas and a large bar and lounge, tastefully adorned with understated holiday décor. All were wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, affording stunning views of the sun-splashed city and the ocean beyond.
