There will be a book coming soon from David Cleveland about the school. <br /><br />Not sure why, but I cannot find those pictures that you found from artrenewal.org. In fact Bruce Crane is not even listed there. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing and nice blog.

The darkest masses of land are in the distance!! and it works just fine. All rules are meant to be broken. I guess. I am sure it is because of the sun's position. There are many ways the painter could have approached that horizon so I am sure this was a well thought out decision.willekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626541339963605016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-10122949189489699002009-09-08T22:11:25.424-04:002009-09-08T22:11:25.424-04:00Stape- that one is my favorite.Stape- that one is my favorite.Philip Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191070779177407750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-34808333634230988842009-09-08T22:00:01.868-04:002009-09-08T22:00:01.868-04:00Philip:

Are there any today who can legitimately claim to be Impressionists? And that sort of begs the question, what are the prominent schools (genres? classifications?) of painting currently?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799016923038189074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-53421478448443282702009-09-08T11:52:50.634-04:002009-09-08T11:52:50.634-04:00I think, in a hundred years or so, when all the du...I think, in a hundred years or so, when all the dust has settled. These painters will be the ones that will be most treasured and most will look back in horror at the sorry art that had crowded it out. <br /><br />Someone defined Luminism as "The sun is in the picture". Was it you? Is it so? There seems to be a high percentage of backlit pictures. Some like that as it defines forms and eliminates a lot of detail. How say you?willekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626541339963605016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-84364714885311456302009-09-08T11:06:26.446-04:002009-09-08T11:06:26.446-04:00stapleton,
Great post.
I think the problem for mo...stapleton,<br /><br />Great post.<br />I think the problem for most American Tonalist painters is their American Impressionist counterparts painted the same subject matter in the same way. The American Impressionists rarely used broken color to the extent the Europeans did. While it is easy to select single images from someone’s oeuvre to make a point or in this case a genre, when you look at a larger sampling you see the subject and handling sort of merge. So many painters like Bunker, Robinson, Enneking, Wores, Lathrop, Eaton and Dow all can be placed in either camp and have.armandcabrerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772142818316748471noreply@blogger.com
