While Termohlen has only come to America his pictures have been accepted and hung both in Philadelphia Academy of Fine Art and the Art Institute in Chicago. One of his pictures took a prize in the National Academy of Design, NY. He has also had pictures exhibited in the National Academy of Sweden. Termohlen's color poems of fantastic nature, as he call them, remind one very much of Corot. Their treatment of subjects is very much alike. Tonalism Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling RocketJames McNeill Whistlerca. 1875; Oil on panel; 60.3 x 46.4 cm 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, which employs an emphasis on mood and shadow. Tonalism, in both its forms, was soon eclipsed with the popularity of Impressionism and European modernism.
