Sobre este artículo
London: National Gallery Company Limited, 2017. Paperback. VG (Wraps are lightly worn at the edges; textblock edges are lightly worn/smudged; interior is clean; binding is solid.). Black and white illustrated wraps with black and white lettering; 240 pp.; richly illustrated. "Painting 'without color' has long held a fascination for artists and in this striking and original book, the authors explore how and why artists throughout the centuries have chosen to paint in black, white and shades of gray. Sometimes painters used trompe l'oeil monochromatic effects to imitate other media, such as sculpture, printmaking or photography; others have consciously limited their palette as a means of re-focusing the viewer's attention, while modern and contemporary artists such as Cy Twombly and Gerhard Richter 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 to the abstract canvases of the modern era"-- Back cover.
