Join us for a 30-minute lunchtime tour of our exhibition Sally Michel: Abstracting Tonalism led by the Mennello Museum of American Art’s Curator of Art and Education, Katherine Page from 11:00am to 11:30am!
About the exhibition:
Sally Michel: Abstracting Tonalism is the first museum retrospective in over 20 years of Sally Michel’s Modernist landscapes and figurations from the 1930s – 1990s, long overlooked in traditional Art Historical discourse. Michel’s modern use of simplified color and line ensured that the mood and atmosphere of her own personal moments could be universally understood as the Tonalists before her – especially the paintings of Florida, which radiate with soft pastels that recall mid-century beachside motels, glow with neon sunsets, and diverge with the stark tones the sun brings to a landscape after late afternoon rain.
