Tonalism (about 1880 to 1915) is an artform getting its beginnings from the 1880s when American painters began to produce paintings in which landscape forms are painted with an overall tone of colored atmosphere or mist. Usually dark, neutral hues, such as gray, brown or blue, would dominate such compositions. During the late 1890s American art critics began to use the term ‘tonal’ to describe these works. Two of the leading painters associated with this style are George Inness and James McNeill Whistler. George Inness was a United States painter, born in Newburgh, New York on May 1, 1825, and who died at Bridge of Allan, Scotland, on August 3, 1894. ... Self portrait James Abbott McNeill Whistler (July 14, 1834 – July 17, 1903) was an American painter and etcher. ...


Tonalism was soon eclipsed with the popularity of Impressionism and European modernism. Impressionism was a 19th century art movement, that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists who began publicly exhibiting their art in the 1860s. ...

William Parker presents "Universal Tonality" (1260 words)
This was the scene for the premier of "Universal Tonality", an original work composed by William Parker and performed by his 15-piece Organic Orchestra on Saturday, December 14th.
The framing of "Universal Tonality" as a piece of High Art is reaffirmed in "Leaves Gathering" as a recording of Arabic drum chants is played while the musicians and audience sit silently.
This is the final climax of the work, which dwindles to a sonic coda in which a few sweet notes by Parker on the shakuhachi bring the piece to a quiet, meditative close.
