The works of Inness, Albert Pinkham Ryder, and Kenyon Cox "inspired his visionary style", according to the art historian Stephanie J. Daingerfield was also influenced by the European Symbolists whose work he encountered during his time studying in Europe c. In the late 1890s he achieved recognition for paintings of religious subjects, an example of which is his mural in the Church of Saint Mary the Virgin in New York City. In 1902, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an associate member; he became a full member in 1906. Daingerfield wrote a number of articles on art, including the essay "Nature versus Art" published in 1911 in Scribner's Magazine. He published a biography of George Inness in 1911, and a biography of Ralph Albert Blakelock in 1914. Daingerfield traveled to the American West in 1911 and 1913, and made seven paintings of the Grand Canyon. He married twice. His second wife, Anna Grainger (married 1895), bore two daughters named Gwendoline and Marjorie. Daingerfield died in Manhattan on October 22, 1932, and is buried in Cross Creek Cemetery at Fayetteville.
