advertisement - 🌊 Boy, boy, what a buoy... 🎶 Edward Hopper’s Ground Swell (1939) looks like a peaceful day on the water, but there’s a weird tension lurking beneath the surface. The rising swell, that dark buoy...something feels off. Painted just before World War II, could this be a calm before the storm?
