Format: Hardback
Length: 304 pages

Publisher: Reaktion Books
The monochrome, a single-colour work of art, holds a profound ambiguity that captivates the minds of many. For some, it represents the epitome of purity, a stripped-down essence of artistic expression. To others, it appears as nothing more than a mere gimmick, a shallow attempt to impress, akin to the emperor's new clothes. Yet, despite this dichotomy, monochromes continue to be celebrated and revered, while simultaneously being subjected to scornful criticism. In this enlightening book, Simon Morley delves into the intricate meanings of the monochrome as it evolved internationally throughout the twentieth century, culminating in its contemporary manifestations. Through his exploration, Morley uncovers broader questions about the artistic process, the diverse interpretations of art by critics, and the unique ways in which viewers engage with and experience art.
