Colin Campbell Cooper wrote an essay in 1911 where he recommended his wife’s home town of Rochester as a subject for artists: “Rochester is filled with subjects which need no other idealization to make beautiful than an eye receptive to the glory of light and color and the ability to register these things on canvas.” Here, the artist’s receptive eye captured from a northeast angle downtown’s Main Street Bridge in contrasting colors of warm brick and the cool water. The shops and offices on the Main Street Bridge over the Genesee River illustrate Rochester’s commercial boom in this era, where every inch of space was needed to support the businesses of the central city.

Painting
American-born painter Colin Campbell Cooper infused life into his paintings with an impressionist’s sense of air and light. After training in Philadelphia and Paris, he married fellow-artist and Rochester native Emma Lampert and the couple travelled around Europe and much of the world. Cooper painted subjects ranging from the Taj Mahal in India to the Main Street Bridge in Rochester, and was represented in MAG’s inaugural exhibition in 1913.
