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.
The first one-man exhibition of Edward happened in 1920, courtesy of his patron Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, who also happened to be the founder of the Whitney Studio Club, the venue of the exhibit. Despite the fact that not one of the 16 Edward Hopper paintings exhibited was sold, the exhibit remained to be a symbolic milestone in the artistic development of the thirty seven year old artist.
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.
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.
