Whats black and white and read all over? Black & White is a visually exciting compendium that explores all things untouched by color. Though black and white lie beyond the color spectrum, theyre utterly essential to visualize the world we live in. They symbolize the tension and harmony of opposites: good and evil, positive and negative, life and death. Black & White collects amazing images and examples from mother nature and manmade culture, from penguins on ice floes to nuns on ice skates, from stripes on zebras to stripes on prisoners. Featuring hundreds of photographs, clever commentary, and a chic design, this gorgeous gift book and graphic essay explores a world thats too cool for color.
The reader is the beneficiary of this smart, deep collection of obsessive compulsive creators. I loved the witty writing and the deep well of art and commentary. I've given this book out as a gift to my clients as a way of opening their eyes and really seeing true design integrity. After looking at the world in black and white, color somehow seems like a cheap gimmick.
