"Artworks rendered in a black and white spectrum seem that much more naked, visually and spiritually, and at the same time that much more powerful for their starkness - the charcoal that succeeds the tree, the ink that follows the bloods. At the very least, there is a sense in a black and white work that the artist is trying less to seduce us - or, worse, lie to us -than to speak, even whisper, certain truths to us, urgent truths, or at least truths displayed with a certain urgency."
