Black & White Wall Art

Color is the hardest thing to get right on a wall, and the easiest way around it is to leave it out. A black-and-white or near-monochrome print goes with any sofa, any paint, and any other picture you hang beside it, which is why designers reach for it first in a room that is already busy. This page gathers the paintings and drawings in our catalog that live in greys, blacks, ink, and snow.

They are not all strictly black and white, and we would rather say so. Leonardo's Vitruvian Man is brown ink on aged paper. Whistler's Mother is a study in grey and black with one pale face. Hammershøi's rooms are silver-grey with a little light on the floor. Malevich's Black Square is exactly what it says. Caillebotte's snowy rooftops and Monet's magpie are white with the color drained out of them. What they share is restraint, and that is what a monochrome wall is for.

Each one is printed to order on archival cotton canvas, gallery-wrapped or in a floater frame; a black frame on these is a safe, sharp choice. Because the source files vary, sizes vary too, and each painting's page lists exactly what is offered. Any print over $100 ships free anywhere in the USA, smaller prints ship for a flat $10, and every order is delivered within five business days.
