The 1910s was a struggle for Edward Hopper paintings as far as recognition was concerned. It was in a variety of New York group shows that they were included, specifically the painting entitled Sailing. Immediate sales success was the result from paintings done in the medium of etching.
It was in 1920 that Edward Hopper was able to put up his first one-man exhibition. Thanks to his patron, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, who was also the founder of the Whitney Studio Club, where the exhibit was held. However not one of the 16 Edward Hopper paintings was sold. Still the exhibition is considered a symbolic milestone in the career of the then thirty seven year old painter.
A reversal of fortune came about a few years later when Edward held his second one-man exhibition at the Frank K.M. Rehn Gallery in New York. This time, each one of the Edward Hopper paintings presented was sold. Edward found himself in a more prosperous and prominent position as an artist after this commercial success.
During the course of his career, Paul Klee participated in various art movements. In many of these movements, Paul was considered to be a leading force. Expressionism, cubism and surrealism find their expression in Paul Klee paintings, among other art forms. There was a period in the illustrious career of this artist that he also worked as an art instructor.
His teen years saw Paul shifting his attention from music to the visual art forms. He mastered the art of drawing on a blackened pane of glass, using a needle, which provided magnificent depth and texture for his designed pieces. This unique art style paved the way for his first art exhibit in 1905. Featured in the exhibit where Paul Klee paintings from 1903-1905, called Inventions, in the form of a set of etchings.
The progression of Paul Klee paintings to new art forms was seen in the next five years. Water colors and experimentation, in general, were some of the new art forms Paul began working on. After an inspiration from light exhibits he encountered in Tunisia in 1914, Paul started focusing on abstract art.
