Completed only months before Sillman’s death from cancer, Swarm is the latest work on view. In it, he moves swiftly from one of the deepest blacks that can be obtained by watercolor, essentially a medium of transparent washes, to a nearly invisible wash in the lightest band. As he layers one set of fl®®ches over another, sharp black points slice across his skillful gradations.
