They had (have?) some Hopper's on display at the Huntington Museum. I realized that even the best art books are unable to reproduce the stunning colors of the originals. It was the visual equivalent of CD audio versus live performance - just not the same at all.

I had seen it only on computer screen before and that's even worse at color reproduction than print. That's all it took to ignite a life long appreciation of art and afterwards I was the ideal parental accessory at any museum.
