'Paris is a very graceful and beautiful city, almost too formal and sweet to the taste after the raw disorder of New York. Everything seems to have been planned with the purpose of forming a most harmonious whole... Not even one jarring note of colour... The climate seems very mild to me, I do not believe they have the biting cold of New York nor do you see here the deep blue sky and gorgeous sparkle of colour we have at home.'
- Edward Hopper
