Does this stretch of Seventh Avenue look familiar to you? If you're an Edward Hopper fan, there's a good chance the answer is yes; the street served as inspiration for Early Sunday Morning.

Check out this video in which Whitney curator Carter Foster visits sites in downtown New York that inspired Hopper’s most iconic paintings. See the works in person in Hopper Drawing, on view through Sunday.
