CSS issue

(http://codepen.io/anon/pen/Hutzj)

Hello people! I'm working on this small project (see the CodePen) and, apart from many other things :), trying to make the text inside div.artMaintext gradually appear after the div is resized, but for some reason the transition: color 850ms on line 48 is getting ignored.

Is something overriding it somewhere that I fail to see? I use transition without prefixes on lines 14 and 25 as well and it does work, so it doesn't seem to be a browser issue. Any thoughts are much appreciated!

I figured it out.

It seems that if the initial display property is set to none all the following CSS for the object is not applied. So instead I used minuscule height to hide the div and after that transition started working.
