Synopsis
A canonical figure in American painting, George Inness (1825–1894) is widely admired as the pioneer of the landscape aesthetic known as Tonalism, which is distinguished by soft focus and diaphanous layers of paint. This is the first book about the artist's two Italian sojourns (1851–52 and 1870–74) and their formative impact on his work.
Italy―its art and its landscape―offered Inness a font of inspiration as he developed his unique artistic vision. This handsome book presents ten oil paintings surveying Inness's Italian subjects dating from 1850 to 1879, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art's recently restored Twilight on the Campagna, which has not been on view since 1952. This was the first of Inness's works completed in Italy, and its reemergence offers a unique opportunity to reconsider the career of a leading American artist.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neu -Der amerikanische Künstler George Inness (1825-1894) gilt als Begründer des »Tonalism«, einer Auffassung von Landschaftsmalerei, die durch Unschärfe - Weichzeichnung - und transparente, übereinander liegende Malschichten gekennzeichnet ist. Zweimal, in den Jahren 1851/52 und 1870-74, hielt sich Inness für längere Zeit in Italien auf, wo er sich inspirieren ließ für seine eigene künstlerische Vision. Der schmale Band stellt zehn Ölgemälde vor, die das Thema Italien in Inness' Werk repräsentieren, sie stammen aus den Jahren 1850 bis 1879. Dazu gehört auch das jüngst restaurierte und seit 1952 erstmals wieder in der Öffentlichkeit zu sehende Gemälde »Dämmerung in der Campagna« aus dem Besitz des Philadelphia Museum of Art.
