Two oil paintings recently finished waiting for varnish.  I have been looking at the tonalist movement of the early nineteenth century.  I like the approach of those artists.

Washington Allston (1779–1843). A Landscape After Sunset, c. 1819. o/c: 17 7/8 × 25 1/4 in. Corcoran.

Washington Allston would be universally acclaimed as the father of American landscape painting if art criticism were freed from Leftist political constraints. Today that title is often bestowed, absurdly, on the rightly admired but much later and narrower George Inness (1825–1894), a Tonalist who reached his peak in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.

Born in 1779 at his family's rice plantation on the Waccamaw River in SC, Allston was a graduate of Harvard and a student of London's Royal Academy. He is rightly noted as a progenitor of the Romantic movement on this side of the Atlantic, having anticipated the work of Albert Pinkham Ryder, Ralph Albert Blakelock and others. In London he attracted the interest of no less a figure than Samuel Taylor Coleridge, whose portrait he painted.

His early essays in classical and Biblical themes would eventually give way to experiments in light and mood, as exemplified by Landscape After Sunset. Once again, Allston is found working well in advance of the American art scene, anticipating the Luminist and Tonalist painters of half a century later while painting with a degree of finesse none of them would ever match.

Had Allston been born the son of a middle-class Unitarian minister of Massachusetts, he would be remembered quite differently.

Clarice Majoribanks Beckett was an Australian Tonalist painter whose works are featured in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and the Art Gallery of South Australia.

Beckett was born in Casterton, Victoria, the daughter of Joseph Clifden Beckett (ca. 1852-1936), a bank manager, and his wife Elizabeth Kate, née Brown (ca. 1855-1934). Her grandfather was John Brown, a Scottish master builder who had designed and built Como House and its gardens in South Yarra, Victoria.

Clarice was a boarder at Queen's College, Ballarat until 1903, before spending a year at Melbourne Church of England Girls' Grammar School. She showed artistic ability, and after leaving school took private lessons in charcoal drawing at Ballarat. In 1914 she went to Melbourne's National Gallery School, completing three years of study under Frederick McCubbin before continuing her studies under Max Meldrum, whose controversial theories became a pivotal factor in her own art practice.

In 1919 her parents moved from Bendigo to the Melbourne bayside suburb of Beaumaris and, with their health failing, Beckett assumed household responsibilities that virtually dictated the structure of the rest of her life, severely limiting her artistic endeavour. Beckett could only go out during the dawn and dusk to paint as most of her day was spent caring for them.

Beckett is recognised as one of Australia's most important modernist artists. Despite a talent for portraiture and a keen public appreciation for her still lifes, Beckett preferred the solo, outdoor process of painting landscapes. She relentlessly painted sea and beachscapes, rural and suburban scenes, often enveloped in the atmospheric effects of early mornings or evening. Her subjects were often drawn from the Beaumaris area, where she lived for the latter part of her life. She was one of the first of her group to use a painting trolley, or mobile easel to make it easier to paint outdoors in different locations.

Max Meldrum once stated, "There would never be a great woman artist and there never had been. Woman had not the capacity to be alone". It is believed this reflects the overall opinion of the period; Beckett was continually put down by the critics and sold little in her lifetime.

While painting the wild sea off Beaumaris during a big storm in 1935, Beckett developed pneumonia and died four days later in a hospital at Sandringham. She was buried in the Cheltenham Memorial Park (Wangara Road) not far from another noted female artist, Mary Vale. She was only 48 when she died, the year after her mother's death.

Am I a Tonalist? I think so, when it comes to landscapes.

Am I a Tonalist? I think so, when it comes to landscapes.

It’s always been hard for me to categorize my art, because the colors look different than a lot of contemporary art I see. So I began looking at historical works and styles and I think I’ve found something – a style of painting called Tonalism. Distinguishing characteristics of this kind of painting include limited palette and a melancholic mood, partly due to the color palette. Melancholy is my…
