Room in New York is a 1932 oil on canvas painting by Edward Hopper that portrays two individuals in a New York City flat. It is currently in the collection of the Sheldon Museum of Art. The painting is said to have been inspired by the glimpses of lighted interiors seen by the artist near the district where he lived in Washington Square

Stephen King sits down in front of Hopper’s picture, “Room in New York”, to read the first chapter of his latest book, “If it Bleeds” for a YOU TUBE presentation. King refers to Edward Hopper painting pointing to the picture and saying Hopper is considered “The patron saint of social distancing”. Actually it does seem to fit some of his work.
