Edward Hopper paintings struggled for recognition in the 1910s. They were exhibited in a variety of New York group shows, primarily the painting titled Sailing. Paintings done in the medium of etching brought immediate sales success.
A symbolic milestone for Edward Hopper paintings was their exhibition in the Whitney Studio Club in 1920. Although none of the 16 paintings was sold, it was the first one-man exhibition for Edward, who was at the time thirty-seven years of age. His patron done was in the person of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney.
A few year later, Edward held his second one-man exhibition at the Frank K.M. Rehn Gallery in New York. It was a complete reversal of fortune compared to his first exhibit. Each one of the Edward Hopper paintings presented in the exhibit was sold. Suddenly, Edward was in a more prosperous and prominent position as an artist.
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.
Paul Klee paintings progressed to new art forms in the next five years. Paul began to delve on experimentations, in general, as well as water colors. Paul started working on abstract art in 1914, after being inspired by light exhibits he witnessed in Tunisia.
