About the book

Presents an intriguing variety of works as a way of examining the significance of black in recent painting. Black as a colour' in its own right only came into acceptance again in the early 20th century by artists such as Matisse, followed by Rauschenburg, Rothko and Stella. Once regarded as taboo, black has challenged painters of all eras. This collection presents 20 contemporary artists who produce both abstract and figurative works that explore and face the challenges of working with the colour black.'
