It was a struggle for recognition that Edward Hopper paintings experienced in the 1910s. Principally the painting titled Sailing was exhibited in a variety of group shows in New York. It was with paintings done in the medium of etching that success in terms of immediate sales was gained.
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.
Conversely, the second one-man exhibition of Edward at the Frank K.M. Rehn Gallery in New York, a few years later, was a resounding success. Each one of the Edward Hopper paintings presented was sold. As an artist, Edward suddenly found himself in a more prosperous and prominent position after this commercial triumph.
Paul Klee was one of the leading forces in many of the various art movements he participated in during the course of his career. Paul Klee paintings come in the forms of expressionism, cubism and surrealism, among others. Paul also worked as an art instructor during the later part of his illustrious career.
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.
