DAWN & DUSK
Tonalism in Connecticut
         his selection of almost 60 works, ranging from 1878 to 1917, by twenty-four different artists,
         explores the evolution of the Tonalist movement in landscape paintings. The term tonalism
is associated primarily with a type of landscape and seascape produced by artists working in and
around New York and Boston during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Their
predecessors were the landscape painters of the early to mid-nineteenth-century, who comprised
what came to be called the Hudson River School – painting canvases that explored the beauty of
the Americas, proclaimed the idea of Manifest Destiny, and served the heady optimism of the
young United States. The tonalist painters embraced the ideas of a new era as the psychological
wreckage of the Civil War, and increased industrialization challenged the narrative of God-
ordained grandeur, classically composed vistas, and luminous, crystalline views. 
This exhibition is entitled Dawn & Dusk to reflect the preferred subject matter of these painters,
who chose to reproduce the subtle effects dawn, twilight, autumn, and winter have on the
landscape. Vacant of human activity, these works usually focus on more spiritual or symbolic
meaning, and provide a bridge to the more expressive, psychological, and modernist works of
the twentieth century.
Guest-curated by Mary Ann Hollihan, this exhibition includes paintings from three major private
collections; an important painting by George Inness from the Milton Klein Collection at the
Bridgeport Public Library that has not been publicly exhibited in over 70 years; two works by
James McNeill Whistler lent by the New York Public Library; two paintings lent by the Florence
Griswold Museum; and works by three women artists, two of which are lent by Hawthorne Fine
Art LLC, and one which comes from Hawthorne Fine Art LLC and the Cooley Gallery.
Dr. Robert Schnurr ’74 and Mrs. Rosellen (Walsh) Schnurr ’74 sparked the idea for this 
exhibition, which was made possible thanks to their generous support. Additional supporters 
of this exhibition include M&T Bank/Wilmington Trust, the Traditional Fine Arts Organization, 
and John and Barbara Hazeltine.
