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
