Here it is in "Black and White" . . .
It is sooo colorful!
Simple but powerful. Artistic but realistic. So enchanting I think.
Do you enjoy the classic movies filmed in black and white?
What about horror movies with black blood instead of red?
Kurosawa's version of Macbeth is actually Black and White and more bloody than ever!
"Casablanca" is one of my favorite Bogart movies in Black and White. Sergei Einstein in "Film Sense" argues that by avoiding the superficial attraction of color you achieve what both you and the audience want. . .greater attention to form.
Personally, as I create with black and white it is truly a discipline. I keep wanting to
wander off to color. Even creating jewelry. . .it is more difficult. Exciting it is!
And I love it! . . . more than all color when it is finished!
Working with clay for several years I found that the black and white creations were the most difficult and the most beautiful. Picasso, the artist, used Black and White to paint "explosive" art such as "Guernica".
Ebony and Ivory, Yin and Yang, Night and Day. . .Opposites? or Compliments?
The Game of Chess with its intrigue would not be the same without Black and White.
The piano I play would not sound the same without black and white keys.
The Black Tie event...or the White Tie Event.
The decisive Ace of Spades...in a deck of cards.
Many designers, movie directors, artists, songwriters, jewelry makers. . .
All of us have been inspired and lured in by the unique, mysterious beauty of Black and White
. . . It's so Colorful...
