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.

A symbolic milestone for etched Edward Hopper paintings was their exhibition in the Whitney Studio Club in 1920. Although none of the 16 paintings was sold, it was the first one-man exhibition for Edward, who was at the time thirty-seven years of age. His patron done was in the person of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney.

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.

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 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.
