Art Exhibition, Dawn & Dusk: Tonalism in Connecticut

Art Exhibition, Dawn & Dusk: Tonalism in Connecticut

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, 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 Museum is open Tues-Sat, 11am-4pm, Thurs 11am-8pm.

Fairfield University Art Museum - Bellarmine Hall, Bellarmine Hall Galleries
11:00 AM - 04:00 PM, every day through Apr 12, 2025.
