I remember seeing this painting from either from an art appreciation class or community college from my an American Art and Architecture. Either way, this artwork stood out to me. The painting depicts late nightlife in 1940s Chicago. From the outside, the streets look deserted in spite of four people in a diner. It also depicts how empty and lonely urban city life can be.Even the couple don't look like they are together. It reminds me of the phrase, "together all alone."
