Henri Matisse, known for bold colors, demonstrated mastery in black and white with his intricate paper cut-outs. Georgia O'Keeffe highlighted light and shadow in her floral paintings, while Ansel Adams captured the stark beauty of nature in black and white photography.

What does black symbolise in art?
In art, black can symbolize various concepts depending on cultural and contextual interpretations. Traditionally, black is often associated with darkness, mystery, and the unknown. It can represent mourning, grief, or death in certain cultural contexts. Conversely, black can also symbolize elegance, sophistication, and formality. Additionally, black may be used to convey power, strength, or authority. Its symbolism can vary widely depending on the artist's intent, the subject matter, and the viewer's interpretation.
What is monochrome in art?
Monochrome in art refers to the use of a single color or shades of a single color in a composition. This can involve various mediums such as painting, photography, or graphic design.

Traditionally, black and white are often referred to as "non-colors" or "achromatic" because they lack hue (the property that distinguishes different colors). However, they are commonly used in art and design to convey contrast, mood, and symbolism. Some artists and theorists consider black and white to be colors in their own right due to their visual impact and significance in artistic expression.
Is monochrome an art style?
Monochrome is a stylistic approach in art characterized by the use of a single color or shades of a single color. It can be employed in various art forms, including painting, photography, and graphic design.
