About the Nighthawk…

Good evening! I'm Kenn Sava, the Denizen of NighthawkNYC.com. Welcome to my site. Here I am as you'll find me most times- out somewhere in NYC, listening to Music and looking at Art. Here, I’m standing in front of the REAL Nighthawks, Edward Hopper's Timeless Masterpiece from 1942, at the "old" Whitney Museum during the Hopper Drawing Show in 2013.

Standing there. I felt like I was standing next to my soul. It's me. Well, that figure, sitting with his back to us is. As much as any work of Art I've ever seen is...

"That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand."*

What? I explain here. I named this site NighthawkNYC in homage to Hopper’s immortal Painting, and that figure that no one ever talks about. Anyway...Art and Music are my twin passions, and have been for a very long time. I started NighthawkNYC to share what I've discovered along the way- as Steely Dan put it so well ..."Sensations that stagger the mind."*

But? I'm not going to stop there, so hold on to your stool, and let's see what the night brings. And, be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on anything you'll wake up tomorrow and wish you hadn't.
