Edward Hopper Paintings And Paul Klee Paintings

By Darren Hartley


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.

A symbolic milestone for 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
