Edward Hopper was a man during the 1920’s who drew many oil paintings. In 1920, he held the first one-man show with his paintings at the Whitney Studio Club but no one bought any of his paintings.
In 1923, he stopped painting and instead started earning his living by commercial illustration. In 1924, he held his second show and in this show, all of his paintings were sold. Edward Hopper was slowly becoming famous for his artwork.
In 1925, Edward Hopper visited Santa Fe in New Mexico where he painted seven watercolor paintings. He had found out that watercolor paintings sell out well. He also went to the Pennsylvania Academy in Pennsylvania and they bought one of his oil paintings. He painted "House by the Railroad". This painting is important because it marked his mature style of painting. In 1929, his art was included in MOMA’s second exhibition, called Paintings by Nineteen Living Americans. This was when the Great Depression started and he started painting sad pictures.
