There is something nostalgic about black and white art. Newspapers, photographs, and television all provided a way to capture and preserve life without using color. Still, while media continues to progress, color has never completely replaced black and white imagery. Nowadays, it is used as an artistic choice rather than as the result of technological limitations.
Artists choose to draw, paint, photograph, and film in black and white because they want to convey a certain message that color cannot provide. Black and white art creates its own mood, whether a feeling of antiquity, an emphasis on light and form, or a delineation of a different perspective.
