Wary soldiers by Saul TepperSaul Tepper |
I have come to the conclusion that “black and white” or
monotone painting should be in the drawing category. This gives them the requirements
for being displayed on this blog.
Like many drawings the above painting is composed of tonal
values. Values are the darkness or lightness of a tone.
Before the technology existed to reproduce colored artwork in
printed material, all magazines, newspapers and books contained “black and
white” reproductions.
These illustrations
needed to be visually discernable at a glance as the viewer leafed through the
periodicals. The artists needed to have total control of their values.
In “colored” paintings the tonal values are more important
than the colors themselves. This is why many painters create a “black and white”
study version of their subject before they begin their final paintings.

Paul Dresser Project
This is Garret’s answer to Art Space’s “request for qualifications” for a
site-specific sculpture project to be located in the city of Terre- Haute, Indiana in
Fairbanks Park. My proposal called for an eight foot bronze statue of Paul Dresser holding a phonograph in which played his songs when activated.
