June 1920

Thomas Wilmer Dewing's "June" (1920) is an ethereal depiction of a woman in a flowing gown, her back to the viewer, standing in a field of soft greens and yellows. The Impressionist style of the artwork is evident in the hazy brushstrokes and overall sense of light and movement. This painting captures the soft, romantic atmosphere of a summer day. Dewing, a prominent American Tonalist, was known for his paintings of women in delicate poses, often with an emphasis on subtle light and color. The work is a testament to the artist's mastery of atmospheric effects and his ability to evoke a sense of tranquility and beauty in his subjects.
