@bymuseum: Ground Swell (1939) By Edward Hopper Everything looks peaceful. Blue sky. White sail. Clear water. Then you notice the dark buoy. Several people seem to turn toward it, and suddenly Hopper’s beautiful day feels completely different. Nothing terrible has happened. That is what makes it tense. Follow @bymuseum for more stories behind famous paintings.
