Detailed Description

Tonalism was an art movement that emerged in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It was characterized by its use of soft, muted colors and its focus on light and shadow. Tonalism was often used to depict landscapes, but it could also be used for portraits and other subjects. Some of the most famous Tonalist painters include George Inness, John Henry Twachtman, and J.M.W. Turner. One of the most famous Tonalist paintings is George Inness’ “The Lackawanna Valley” (1895). Tonalism was popular in the United States and Europe. It was a reaction against the bright, garish colors of the Impressionists and the realistic style of the Barbizon School. Tonalism was also influenced by Japanese woodblock prints. Tonalism fell out of favor in the early 1910s, but its influence can still be seen in some contemporary artists, such as Andrew Wyeth.
