Spanierman Gallery, LLC is pleased to announce the opening, on November 12, 2005, of The Poetic Vision: American Tonalism, an exhibition that provides the broadest understanding thus far of a movement that played a major role in American art at the turn of the twentieth century. Although a renewed awareness of Tonalism has been growing since the 1970s, many misconceptions about the movement and the identity of its practitioners have lingered. Drawing on the contributions of leading scholars, this exhibition and its accompanying catalogue seek to clarify many of the questions that have been raised about Tonalism, while contributing to the ongoing discussion as to its nature in general and how it was manifested in painting, as well as in photography, the decorative arts, and poetry. Accompanying the show is a 200-page catalogue, with ten essays by noted art historians and 112 color illustrations, which is available for $85.00 (ppd, please include sales tax).
