Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries practiced by British and American artists such as George Inness, James McNeill Whistler, and Dwight Tryon. The movement defined a painting style similar to Impressionism, based on soft, diffused light, muted tones, and vague, nebulous outlines of objects; the movement diverged from Impressionism and expressed Symbolist tendencies in its use of neutral palettes, expressions of contemplative nature, and in its subjective style centered on establishing an atmosphere or mood.
