A bibliography for American Tonalism – Part 2
Posted By Hui on July 24, 2009
Books about individual artists. In case there are multiple books related to one artist, a non exhibition-catalog book is preferred. It is hard to make a complete list at the first draft, so your input is much appreciated.
Ralph Albert Blakelock
The latest scholarly book by Glyn Vincent. If you prefer picture books, “The Unknown Blakelock” , a companion of exhibition catalog is a good choice.

One of the best books I have read regarding to tonalism and the painter.

Birge Harrison
Nothing is more interesting than to read the artist’s own discourse of art making. Older version (first edition) makes sense if you can find one.

Arthur Hoeber
I wish I can tell more about this book. But the price tag is really scary. The 1915 version seems more reasonably priced.
The Barbizon Painters Being the Story of the Men of Thirty (Hardcover)
by Arthur Hoeber
Price: $574.93

William Morris Hunt
Here comes an important figure in the Barbizon movement. There are so many books about him. His own book regarding painting method is still inspiring to read. Then his relationship with Vose gallery makes the second book a good choice. The last book is the latest scholarly contribution.

George Inness
It is appropriate to call him the dean of American Barbizon school. Two books got Geo’s recommendation. The last is a Raisonne by Michael Quick which is hated by so many eBay sellers who cannot claim their authenticity anymore. (Kidding.)

William Langson Lathrop
I see more impressionism than tonalism in Lantrop’s works. This is an exhibition catalog.

Homer Dodge Martin
Another important painter about whom the scholarly works really lack. A 26 page book is all I can find so far.
Herman Murphy
He is more remembered as a frame maker now. The frame exhibition which I saw a few years in Butler Museum of American Art has examples from his workshop.
The Secret Lives of Frames: One Hundred Years of Art and Artistry (Hardcover)
by Deborah Davis
Price: $4.54

John Francis Murphy
Unfortunately, the out-of-print book is very expensive now. I am grateful to find this book a few years ago under 15 bucks. Ironically, from my last email communication with Hudson River Museum, his works are not shown in the galleries now.
J. Francis Murphy: The Landscape Within (Paperback)

Leonard Ochtman
The line between tonalism and quiet impressionism championed by Ochatman and Twachtman is thinner than the white paint that Twachtman used for his painting “Sailing in the Mist” at PAFA.
The Ochtmans of Cos Cob: Leonard Ochtman (1854-1934), Mina Fonda Ochtman (1862-1924), Dorothy Ochtman (1892-1971), Leonard Ochtman, Jr. (1894-1976) (Unknown Binding)

Henry Ward Ranger
Although he was called the dean of American Landscape painting at the turn of the century, not much spotlight is shining on his works nowadays. I have found the two thin books similar. One article from conservation point of view discusses the use of varnish on his work. Unfortunately you can hardly get the depth of those yellowish varnish effect from even the best reproduction print.

Julian Alden Weir
I am wondering whether there are some artworks or books about him in Weir Farm National Historic Site.

James Abbott McNeill Whistler
There are just too many exhibitions and books. I pick one that is thick enough that you don’t want to carry on the train.
The Paintings of James McNeill Whistler (2 vols.) (Hardcover)
by Andrew Maclaren Young, Margaret F. MacDonald, Robin Spencer, Hamlish Miles
Price: $365.00

Alexander Helwig Wyant
The antique book by Eliot Candee Clark features some best print (15 plates). There are only 300 copies in total. Again, Wyant’ influence in his times is not proportionally represented in the current scholarly works.
