WATER COLOR SHOW AT FOGG CLOSES SATURDAY

Work of Dodge MacKnight Interprets Phases of Water Coloring--Twelfth Century Print Exhibit Also Closes

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The exhibition of the art of Dodge MacKnight as displayed in his water colors that has been showing in the Fogg Art Museum for the part month will close Saturday. Three pictures from Southern France and Spain show him experimenting in the Impressionist manner, using strong color broken up into spots of different tones to give effects of full sunlight.

By way of comparison with these, there are several from Mexico, the Grand Canyon and Jamaica, where he distinguishes great differences in the color of objects for a richer result.

In the New England scenes he drops the Impressionist method, but holds to its spirit, always painting light and color in the open air. For his winter pictures he has devised a tiny movable shack so that he can work in the snow fields in the coldest weather.

The exhibition of 12th century prints will also close at the end of the month.
