In Protest of Color

FADA/blog has been devoted to highlighting monochromatic works of color in its collection, with vibrant pops of orange and cooling shades of blue decorating previous posts. While most of the images we are inundated with today are blasted in high definition color, this post returns to more sleeker notions of seeing things in black and white.

It's undeniable, Black and White evokes mystery: one can only think of glossy Film Noir and its villains receding enigmatically into the shadows. The combination also appears frequently in photography, with choice works from FADA's inventory exuding sophistication.

Most of all "Black and White" connects us to the past. While it often makes us think of the old... it never goes out of style. Enjoy FADA's confident display of black and white works, giving color a run for its money.
