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.
It was early on during his teen years that Paul shifted his attention from music to the visual art forms. He developed a unique art style by 1905, where he drew with a needle on a blackened pane of glass, creating magnificent depth and texture for his designed pieces. Paul Klee paintings of 1903-1905 took the form of a set of etchings, entitled Inventions, which became the source for his first exhibit.
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.
