I suppose the typical conception is that complete colour in, visual art, is a much more rewarding viewing encounter than restricted colour or black and white. This, like numerous other art ideas, is extremely debatable.
Black and white photography, for instance, is an artistic medium that illustrates the concept that limiting an image to black, white and shades of gray can create artwork that is even extra potent and dramatic than pictures with a complete variety of colour. If you have ever noticed the black and white landscape photography of Ansel Adams or Brett Weston, then I believe you will agree that limiting the colour of photos can make some striking outcomes in artistic expression. The exact same can be stated for some of the artwork of painters like El Greco, Giocometti, Picasso, Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, Ad Rhinehart and Jasper Johns, to name a couple of.
Have you ever heard the expression "much less is extra"? Significantly less colour can lead to additional expression as the aforementioned examples illustrate. If you are an artist, you owe it to your self to discover this avenue of expression and if you are an art enthusiast, you ought to discover to appreciate this avenue of artistic expression. Black and White photography is an superb art type in which to discover the beauty and energy of a restricted colour palette, as well as drawing, printmaking and painting. German expressionism in painting, drawing, printmaking and film is a excellent instance of the energy of black and white.
Significantly less can be extra, but much more is not necessarily significantly less! What a stunning paradox.
