Come and Enjoy our fabulous Muskegon Museum of Art! Just a short drive from the Cocoa Cottage Bed and Breakfast. The collections, exhibits, gift shop and staff are all wonderful!

On this day in 1910, "Moonrise at Sunset" became part of the MMA's permanent collection. "Moonrise" is by Dwight W. Tryon (American 1849-1925) and is an oil painting (1886). "Moonrise" was a Hackley Picture Fund Purchase and is currently hanging in the Cannon Gallery.

The soft, muted colors and stillness of Tryon’s compositions exemplify the Tonalist style. In "Moonrise at Sunset", the landscape is captured during the transition from day to night, a time of blended shadows, quiet, and mystery. Subtle and lyrical, Tryon’s paintings reveal his deep love of nature.

Strongly influenced by the French Barbizon style and its emphasis on tonal harmony and careful observation, Tryon traveled to Paris in 1876 to study under Jacquesson de la Chevreuse (a pupil of Ingres) and later at the École des Beaux-Arts. While in Paris he was strongly influenced by James Abbott McNeill Whistler’s compositions and subtle palettes which, when coupled with the influence of George Inness, would direct Tryon’s work into Tonalism. Tyron established a studio in New York in 1881 and began a life-long friendship with Thomas Wilmer Dewing, with whom he had much in common artistically and even collaborated with on occasion. Tryon received numerous prizes during his career and was appointed a full member of the National Academy of Design in 1891.

"Moonrise at Sunset" is the first painting purchased by the Hackley Public Library through the bequest of Charles Hackley, predating the 1912 opening of the Hackley Art Gallery. Its acquisition represented what would become the Gallery’s ongoing interest in collecting the work of living artists through its connections to galleries in Chicago and New York City.
