Among the many 20th-century artists who produced important works in watercolor were [[Wassily Kandinsky]], [[Emil Nolde]], [[Paul Klee]], [[Egon Schiele]], and [[Raoul Dufy]]. In America, the major exponents included [[Charles Burchfield]], [[Edward Hopper]], [[Georgia O'Keeffe]], [[Charles Demuth]], and [[John Marin]] (80% of his total work is watercolor). In this period, American watercolor painting often emulated European Impressionism and Post-Impressionism,<ref>"The European forms of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism were frequently emulated in the United States." {{Harvtxt|London|2021|p=27}}</ref> but significant individualism flourished in "regional"<ref>"At about the same time, several of new regional schools sprung up." {{Harvtxt|London|2021|p=27}}</ref> styles of watercolor painting from the 1920s to 1940s. In particular, the "[[Cleveland School (arts community)|Cleveland School]]" or "Ohio School" of painters centered around the [[Cleveland Museum of Art]], and the [[California Scene Painting|California Scene]]<ref>"The Cleveland Museum of Art was the epicenter of the "Cleveland" or "Ohio School" of artists. In 1921, the California Water Color Society was established (now the National Watercolor Society)." {{Harvtxt|London|2021|p=27}}</ref> painters were often associated with Hollywood animation studios or the [[Chouinard Art Institute]] (now [[California Institute of the Arts]]). The California painters exploited their state's varied geography, Mediterranean climate, and "[[Car culture|automobility]]" to reinvigorate the outdoor or "plein air" tradition. The most influential among them were [[Phil Dike]], [[Millard Sheets]], [[Rex Brandt]], [[Dong Kingman]], and [[Milford Zornes]]. The California Water Color Society, founded in 1921 and later renamed the National Watercolor Society, sponsored important exhibitions of their work. The largest watercolor in the world at the moment (at {{convert|9|ft|m|0}} tall and {{convert|16|ft|m|0|abbr=on}} wide) is ''Building 6 Portrait: Interior.''<ref>{{Cite news |last=Nalewicki |first=Jennifer |title=The Story Behind the World's Largest Watercolor Painting |language=en |work=Smithsonian |url=https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/story-behind-worlds-largest-known-watercolor-painting-180963798/ |access-date=2018-07-01}}</ref> Produced by American artist [[Barbara Prey]] on commission for [[MASS moca|MASS MoCA]],<ref>{{Cite news |date=2017-05-30 |title=The World's Largest Watercolor Goes on Display at MASS MoCA |language=en-us |work=Creators |url=https://creators.vice.com/en_us/article/8x4w54/mass-moca-worlds-largest-watercolor |access-date=2018-07-01}}</ref> the work can be seen at MASS MoCA's Robert W.

Although the rise of [[abstract expressionism]], and the trivializing influence of amateur painters and advertising- or workshop-influenced painting styles, led to a temporary decline in the popularity of watercolor painting after {{Circa|1950}},<ref>"Watercolor art in the United States declined after the 1950s, giving place to abstract expressionism." {{Harvtxt|London|2021|p=27}}</ref> watercolors continue to be utilized by artists like [[Martha Elizabeth Burchfield Richter|Martha Burchfield]], [[Joseph Raffael]], [[Andrew Wyeth]], [[Philip Pearlstein]],<ref>"However, artists such as Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009), Philip Pearlstein (born 1924), Joseph Raffael (born 1933), and many others continued to create in this medium." {{Harvtxt|London|2021|p=27}}</ref> [[Eric Fischl]], [[Gerhard Richter]], [[Anselm Kiefer]], and [[Francesco Clemente]]. In Spain, [[Ceferí Olivé]] created an innovative style followed by his students, such as [[Rafael Alonso López-Montero]] and [[Francesc Torné Gavaldà]]. In [[Mexico]], the major exponents are [[Ignacio Barrios]], [[Edgardo Coghlan]], [[Ángel Mauro]], [[Vicente Mendiola]], and [[Pastor Velázquez]]. In the [[Canary Islands]], where this pictorial technique has many followers, there are stand-out artists such as Francisco Bonnín Guerín, [[José Comas Quesada]], and Alberto Manrique. bork
