There’s just something sophisticated and satisfying about black and white art. Keeping color on the sidelines allows pieces—be they photographs, drawings, paintings, letterpress, or mixed media work—the freedom to focus on form and contrast. Often, choosing to craft an image in black and white also allows the eye to take in every little detail without becoming overwhelmed with visual information. In one beloved case, the image's two subjects are the ONLY noticeable instances of color in an otherwise stark composition, making it almost impossible to draw your eyes away.
Drama like this is where these tones sing. Timeless and modern all at once, black and white art goes with everything, and will never go out of style.
