Kindle monochrome definition

Painting without color has long held a fascination for artists In this striking and original book the authors explore how and why artists from the 15th century to the present have chosen to paint in black white and shades of gray Sometimes artists used trompe l oeil monochromatic effects to represent other media such as sculpture prints or photography others have consciously limited their palette as a means of re focusing the viewer s attention while contemporary artists such as Gerhard Richter and Bridget Riley have often found inspiration in pushing black and white to its limits and in new directions The authors trace the history of this art form from the symbolism of sacred images in medieval church ritual epitomized in Netherlandish painting from the 15th century onwards by Hans Memling and Jan van Eyck to the modern era and the work of artists such as Josef Albers and Ellsworth Kelly Published by National Gallery Company Distributed by Yale University Press Exhibition National Gallery London 10 30 17 02 18 18 Museum Kunstpalast D sseldorf 03 21 18 07 15 18 Monochrome Painting in Black and Whiteexcellent book on painting in black and white tint tones and shades Can t wait to give this a try English 752 P1198 2017 English
