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.
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 was considered to be one of the leading forces in many of the various art movements he participated in. Among other art forms, Paul Klee paintings were chiefly exhibitions of expressionism, cubism and surrealism. During the later part of his long career, Paul also worked as an art instructor, for some time.
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.
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.
