20th century, Arena Group, by Rochester artists, watercolors
Watercolor
The soft-edged haziness of the architectural forms in this painting, an effect resulting from the layering of different paint colors, gives it a dreamlike quality that contrasts with Dargis’s graphic, linear woodcuts. The artist was a master of multiple techniques.

Like many modernists, Dargis seems to have been influenced by art of other cultures. In the center of this painting is a figure that very much resembles African art that was being acquired and exhibited at MAG by 1961, the year this work was done.

Here, black lines dance across a spectrum of color. The artist took advantage of the watercolor medium to blur the rainbow hues, although in an interesting twist, the rainbow itself is black.
