While there is no question that I am far more well known for my colorful artwork, there’s something about the simplicity of black and white art that speaks to me. And I know that I can’t be alone because black and white art is so often a popular choice to decorate with.
Is it because black and white art is by its nature neutral such that it goes well with so many different styles of home decor? Or is it that people love the feel of monochrome art? I’m honestly not sure. I know for my part there’s something about stripping away color. It reveals the lines of an object the way an illustration might. Instead of concentrating on the color of things it brings my eyes to the physical aspect of the subject of the art. I fine that black and white art is especially suited to architecture precisely because it accents the architectural details.
Do you feel the same about monochrome art?
If you’re looking for an eye-catching British print, there’s no question that this London Telephone Box print fits the bill. This particular piece of art is far and away my most popular for a simple reason. It connects with people. It connects with Anglophiles and others who love all things British. But what is more…
The ancient Egyptian ruins at Abu Simbel are notable for many reasons. In antiquity, the massive temple you see in this black and white print was carved from a solid mountain to honor the pharaoh, Ramses The Great. Ramses II reigned for over 60 years, a period in which he built temples and cities on…
It was a long dark ride to see Abu Simbel, one of the ancient temples built to honor Ramses The Great. It’s worth noting that of all the pharaohs of Egypt, Ramses II was the only one to be styled The Great. And in his nearly seven decade rule, he certainly left behind a monumental…
I will never forget my ascent to the top of Saint Peter’s during my trip to Rome. There was an enthusiastic electricity in the air of the crowd I climbed with. Each cramped step inside the dome was filled with huffing, puffing, and laughter. Few of us spoke the same language, but we were united…
Over the course of several trips to London, I’d seen the looming Bankside Power Station on the south bank of the Thames several times. And I knew it was the home of the Tate Modern, but there are so many museums in London that I can’t imagine how long it would take to see them…
This dramatic black and white print features Lanyon Quoit, a Neolithic dolmen in Cornwall. I’ve read that this ancient structure was likely a chamber tomb of some sort. Like many ancient sites, though, there’s no written record so nothing is entirely certain. Whatever the case there’s something in the air of places like this that…
There’s just something about ancient standing stones and beautiful landscapes that lend themselves well to black and white art prints. And don’t you think this gorgeous Ancient Irish landscape in Count Kerry qualifies? This is the sort of scenic place that would be dramatic no matter what. Add some great winter light and a Neolithic…
On my last trip to Boston, I discovered that Salem was an easy train ride away! With it’s rich history, Salem had always been on the increasingly-large list of places I wanted to see. That was in no small part due to Salem’s literary heritage. This print of the famous House Of The seven Gables…
When I visited North Berwick, I didn’t know much about this small town on Scotland’s coast other than it was near Edinburgh and if I went there I could commune with the sea there. That opportunity more than fit the bill for my final day in Scotland. This black and white print shows a beautiful…
Every trip should include unexpected moments, places or experiences we didn’t plan on seeing or doing. Variety is the spice of life as well as art. One of those unexpected places I saw on my last day in England was the Cambridge American Cemetery and War Memorial. I had honestly never heard of this cemetery,…
There’s just something about old castles and stormy skies that speak to me in black and white art prints. I think the 17th century baroque architecture of Holyrood Palace, pictured here, looks even more mysterious and brooding with this graphic black and white treatment. I would believe this was a vintage Gothic print if I…
It should be a given that I have to take photos of all fabulous Red British Telephone Booths whenever I come across them. And yes, you’d be correct to guess that after several trips to Britain, I have taken more than my share of photos of those phone boxes. It’s a weakness for that great…
Glastonbury Tor, pictured here, is a truly magical piece of the British landscape. The legends about this great hill are numerous, but perhaps most well known today is that Glastonbury Tor is Avalon of the legends of King Arthur. Yet even apart from Arthur, I think anyone looking at this black and white print of…
