Thomas Wilmer DEWING (1851-1938)

Thomas Wilmer Dewing (May 4, 1851 – November 5, 1938) was an American painter working at the turn of the 20th century. He is best known for his tonalist paintings, a genre of American art that was rooted in English Aestheticism. Dewing's preferred vehicle of artistic expression is the female figure situated in a moody and dreamlike surrounding. Often seated playing instruments, writing letters, or simply communicating with one another, Dewing's sensitively portrayed figures have a detachment from the viewer that keeps the spectator a remote witness to the scene rather than a participant.
Tonalism as a style resisted the dogma of modernism and abstraction in art, although the political success of modernism eventually succeeded in branding tonalism as an outdated mode of artistic expression in popular culture. Now that the dogma of Modernism itself is under question, a fresh assessment of tonalism is underway, free of political sway.

Thomas Wilmer DEWING - le chant et le violoncelle

Son sujet de prédilection est la figure féminine dans une atmosphère onirique et lunaire. Il est un des représentants de premier plan du tonalisme anglo-saxon qui s'inspire en droite ligne de l'École de Barbizon avec son accentuation de l'atmosphère et des ombres tout en se limitant à des valeurs chromatiques moyennes pour éviter les contrastes appuyés et les couleurs vives.
