Dawn and Dusk: Tonalism
Published on February 3, 2025
This exhibition explores Tonalism in the United States from the 1880s to the early 20th century, through artists from the Northeast such as George Inness, John Henry Twachtman, James McNeill Whistler, and John Francis Murphy. Tonalism is a transitional movement that grew out of and reacted to the Hudson River School of painting and laid the groundwork for modernism. Evocative landscapes, evoking a spiritual connection to the natural world, often painted from memory, are the primary genre of this movement. The more than fifty artworks in this exhibition are drawn from private and institutional collections.
The exhibition runs from January 17 – April 12, 2025 at Fairfield University Art Museum, 1073 N Benson Rd, Fairfield, CT, 06824.
