~~~ Art: Pool in the Woods (oil painting) by George Inness
George Inness (May 1, 1825 – August 3, 1894) was a prominent American landscape painter. One of the most influential American artists of the nineteenth century, Inness was influenced, in turn, by the Old Masters, the Hudson River school, the Barbizon school, and, finally, the theology of Emanuel Swedenborg, whose spiritualism found vivid expression in the work of Inness&`&s maturity (1879-1894). Within his own lifetime, art critics hailed Inness as one of America&`&s greatest artists. Often called "the father of American landscape painting," Inness is best known for his mature works that not only exemplified the *Tonalist movement but also displayed an original and uniquely American style.

Tonalism was an artistic style that emerged in the 1880s when American artists began to paint landscape forms with an overall tone of colored atmosphere or mist. Between 1880 and 1915, dark, neutral hues such as gray, brown or blue, often dominated compositions by artists associated with the style. During the late 1890s, American art critics began to use the term "tonal" to describe these works. Two of the leading associated painters were George Inness and James McNeill Whistler.
Australian Tonalism emerged as an art movement in Melbourne during the 1910s.
Tonalism is sometimes used to describe American landscapes derived from the French Barbizon style, which emphasized mood and shadow. Tonalism was eventually eclipsed by Impressionism and European modernism.
