OIL ON CANVAS, 2004.
WELCOME TO NOIRBLANCART.COM.
ORIGINALLY THIS WEBSITE ONLY
DISPLAYED BLACK & WHITE PAINTINGS
BUT THAT HAS SINCE CHANGED, IT NOW
SHOWCASES WORKS IN COLOR ALSO.
NOIRBLANCART, MOST PEOPLE ASK
WHY THE NAME? WELL THE PHRASE
BLACK AND WHITE IS COPYRIGHTED IN
ENGLISH, SO I TRANSLATED IT TO
FRENCH.
THE IDEA OF PAINTING IN BLACK &
WHITE IS A SIMPLE ENOUGH IDEA, BUT
AS A GENERAL RULE MOST ARTISTS TRY
TO STAY AWAY FROM A STRONG USE
OF BLACK BECAUSE IT BECOMES TOO
OVER POWERING. THE IDEA CAME TO
ME UPON ACCEPTING A COMMISSION
TO PAINT A PORTRAIT OF AN ELDERLY
NEIGHBOR. AFTER GETTING TO KNOW
MY SUBJECT AND HEARING STORIES
ABOUT HER LIFE WHEN SHE WAS
YOUNGER, I DECIDED TO PAINT HER
PORTRAIT IN BLACK & WHITE. LOISE
REICHARD WHITE WAS NOW IN HER
EIGHTIES BUT RECALLED HER LIFE
WHEN SHE PERFORMED ON
BROADWAY IN THE LATE 1930'S. HER
LARGEST ROLE WAS THAT OF THE COMIC
LEAD IN "HAVING WONDERFUL TIME".
SO I TOOK ONE OF HER OLD PUBLICITY
SHOTS AS A MEANS OF INSPIRATION
AND SET TO WORK. THE IMAGE YOU
SEE TO THE RIGHT IS THE COMPLETED
WORK AND THAT IS THE STORY OF
WHY I BEGAN PAINTING IN BLACK &
WHITE. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE
TIME TO VIEW MY WORK AND HAVE A
GREAT DAY.
