When Oscar Wilde said life imitates art far more than art imitates life, he meant it figuratively. But if you wanted to interpret it literally, now you can.
An interactive, life-size art exhibit dedicated to the works of Edward Hopper is now on display this weekend in Manhattan 's Meatpacking District .
Take a seat at the counter of the diner of "Nighthawks," the masterpiece by urban realist Edward Hopper."Just interacting but not in a too happy way," actor Lucas Sefcik said. "In the painting, everybody is just kind of somber and to themselves." "It's like being right in the middle of Nighthawks, it's so cool," Mary Juedes said. "Because that's the famous photo that's been reproduced and stolen or whatever over the years, appropriated with James Dean and Marilyn Monroe and all that. It gives you a really nice feeling of old New York and what it used to feel like and some of them are a bit lonely feeling but they're still genuine New York.
