Tonalism (about 1880 to 1915) is an artistic style that emerged in the 1880s when American artists began to paint landscape forms with an overall tone of colored atmosphere or mist. Dark, neutral hues, such as gray, brown or blue, would usually dominate such compositions. During the late 1890s American art critics began to use the term "tonal" to describe these works. Two of the leading painters associated with this style are George Inness and James McNeill Whistler.

Tonalism is also sometimes used to describe American landscapes derived from the French Barbizon style, [Avery, Kevin J. & Fischer, Diane P. "American Tonalism: Selections from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Montclair Art Museum ". "Burlington Magazine", Vol. 142, No. 1168, July, 2000. p. 453.] which employs an emphasis on mood and shadow. [" [http://www.artbrokering.com/sub_artterms.html Art Movements] ". artbrokering.com. Retrieved on January 18, 2007.] Tonalism, in both its forms, was eclipsed by the popularity of Impressionism and European modernism.
