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.
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 commercially successful 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 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.
Paul shifted his attention from music to the visual art forms during his teen years. It was in 1905 that he developed a unique art style, involving the drawing on a blackened pane of glass with the use of a needle. This style enabled Paul to create magnificent depth and texture for his designed pieces. Between 1903 and 1905, Paul Klee paintings, in the form of a set of etchings called Inventions, was the centrepiece for his first art exhibit.
The next five years saw Paul Klee paintings progressing to new art forms. Paul began to work on water colors and experimentation, in general. By 1914, Paul started work on abstract art, inspired by light exhibits he viewed in Tunisia.
