day is a big part of the problem - the works are rarely put on exhibit because of their sensitivity to light. You may not have seen the origi­ nals before, but you'll recognize the paintings. Enter the exhibit, and you're met with three watercolors by Edward Hopper that read like a powerful opening sentence, with ''Highland Light, 1930," serving as the exclamation point. Hopper's sublime rendering of a lighthouse on a summer day may put you in the perfect mood for that vacation on Cape Cod that you booked for July. Around the corner, "Group in the Simplon" continues the summer theme. John Singer Sargent may have painted it while he was traveling in the Simplon Valley (on the border be­ tween Switzerland and Italy), but it, too, could be set on a Massachusetts cape. The painting is memorable, in part, for the ridiculous impracticality of the voluminous white dresses worn by the two women (Sargent's sister and a friend) on a brilliant sum­ form - he scratched into the mer day-if you're heading to the ''Untitled, 1944-46," isn't a tYPical paper's surface in order to create a Rothko, but part of the appeal of the beach this summer, I doubt you're •• sense of movement in the tree limbs. watercolor/ink/tempera is that it cap­ packing that outfit.
