Among these: During the 20th century, watercolor became a medium of tremendous diversity of style as used by these and others: John Marin (1870-1953) Edward Hopper (1882-1967) Charles Demuth (1883-1935) Charles Burchfield (1893-1967) Andrew Wyeth (b. 1917), who made his name as a watercolorist.

IThe American West was an important area in the history of American art, and of watercolor in particular. Much of the record of exploration of the lands and people west of the Mississippi was kept by artists whose only means of painting was watercolor. George Catlin (1796-1870) was one of the "explorer artists" who used watercolor to document his travels among Indian tribes during the 1830s. Thomas Moran's watercolor sketches of Yellowstone in 1871 so impressed Congress that they voted to make Yellowstone the nation's first National Park.
