Catalogue Note
“Images rendered in unrelieved black and white can elicit responses at least as startling, if not as numerous, as oppositions of complementary hues, and many works in which color is introduced owe their lives effects to essentially black-white or black-white-gray relationships.”
William C. Seitz in Exh. Cat., New York, Museum of Modern Art, The Responsive Eye, 1965
