  Haber's Art Reviews: Thomas Wilmer Dewing and Picasso's Women
As a visit to Thomas Wilmer Dewing out in Brooklyn shows, together with yet more of Picasso at the Museum of Modern Art, the question has been a live one from as long ago as Renaissance Madonnas.
Like White, Dewing had one eye on the new century and one eye on old techniques, as he practiced decoration and mimed the accumulation of past wealth.
One should not mistake Dewing's interest in the frame with modernist concerns for the material essence of painting.

  NCAW Spring 03 | Kathleen Pyne on Women and Ambivalence in the Evolutionary Topos   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Dewing's female figures were doubly constructed, mirroring the contemporary double-headed definition of masculinity in which ideal men were judged to be both civilized and virile.
Significantly, Dewing's bodiless woman presented a paradoxical configuration; her very form offered a model of eroticized aesthetic experience that was yet "intellectual," anti-corporeal, and thus "higher" in its rejection of the commonplace depiction of sexuality as the carnal, voluptuous body.
Their objections, however unfavorable to Dewing, nevertheless clarify the way in which his peers read his practice of elongating form as a sign of his reach for a perfected state of being that is accomplished through the private rituals of self-culture.

 Magazine Antiques: Thomas Wilmer Dewing, an artist against the grain
Dewing's application of pigment, particularly his use of broken brush strokes and reflected complementary colors, clearly demonstrates his talent as a colorist and his awareness of impressionist innovations.
Dewing's opposing needs were a desire to be accepted and admired by the artistic community and a determination to remain apart from it by virtue of his unique approach to art.
Dewing called these large landscapes with figures "decorations," and he felt they failed to command the attention they deserved, as he wrote to Freer.(7) He told the collector that this segment of his art was only for a "few choice spirits" whose superior sensibilities enabled them to understand these refined, poetic paintings.

Utilizing the hand-on-hip pose he often employed at this time, the artist emphasized the sheen of the sitter's gold satin gown, which he softened with a gauzy veil across her bust and around her left arm.
In the Whistlerian manner, he defined the figure with a thin line of fl pastel, a technique that is evident along the flounces of the dress.
Dewing, like Whistler, produced works that were primarily aesthetic in intention, a goal suggested by the title under which Dewing exhibited this pastel at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair: Study-Yellow Drapery.

More than any other artist, Thomas Wilmer Dewing embodies the spirit of the Aesthetic Movement in America.
With a softness of form and delicacy of spirit, Dewing's contemplative paintings have an almost surrealist spacial quality, exceptional for his time.
Some of his most interesting works are those depicting sound that seemingly fills the space of the canvas with an almost "apparitional quality that relegates the figures and the spaces they occupy to the realm of pure memory." Dewing's works are exceedingly rare and rarely available.
