    Exhibition: Daingerfield & The Tonalist Instinct

    August 6, 2025 @ 11:00 am - October 19, 2025 @ 6:00 pm
    Blowing Rock Art & History Museum 159 Ginny Stevens Lane, Blowing Rock, NC, United States

    Daingerfield & The Tonalist Instinct explores the development of Tonalism, a distinctly American artistic movement responding to early modernist impulses in painting. Emerging in the latter half of the 19th century, Tonalism was characterized by subtle color harmonies, soft atmospheric effects, and contemplative, mood-driven scenes. Often emphasizing twilight or dawn landscapes, tonalist works evoke introspective, serene, or even ominous atmospheres, prioritizing mood and emotional resonance over detailed realism.

    Blowing Rock Art & History Museum 159 Ginny Stevens Lane, Blowing Rock, NC, United States

    This exhibition explores key milestones in the history of color theory through seven case studies, each centered on a single work of art from BRAHM’s Permanent Collection. Alongside these works, diagrams and historical models illustrate how color has been classified, studied, and understood over time. By examining these varied approaches, The Shape of Color invites us to consider the ways in which color influences our perception, emotions, and the visual world around us.
