Many paintings from art galleries and museums are painted in multiple tones and hues making them vibrate and alive. But some artists use only a single colour in a painting.  Monochrome in art means one colour or hue which can use with different shades and tones. Historically the use of single-hue images started in the 20th century and is still being explored even today. Find out in Monochrome Piece of Art:<\/em> From One Colour to Another<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This form of art explores both the potential emotions and textures of artworks using the smallest amount of one tone of paint. Compositions show uniqueness and boldness in the making of abstract art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It first began in 1918 when supremacist artist Kazimir Malevich painted a composition titled \u2018White on White\u2019 as a sequel to his 1915 work \u2018Black Square on a White Field\u2019, which was his most important 20th-century work to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suprematism was one of the key movements of modernist art. In 1927 Malevich published his book The Non-Objective World, one of the most important theoretical documents of abstract art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018In the year 1913, trying desperately to free art from the dead weight of the real world, I took refuge in the form of the square.\u2019 <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of the \u2018suprematist square,\u2019 as he called it, Malevich developed a group of forms that included shapes such as rectangles, triangles and circles often in simple bold colours. These forms floated against a white ground, with a feeling of colour in space in suprematist painting is a crucial aspect of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the white-on-white painting, the idea of exploring one colour or tone became an ‘essay’ for many others to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerhard Richter<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerhard Richter born in 1932 is a German visual artist who has produced abstract as well as photorealistic paintings, photographs and glass pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is widely regarded as one of the most important contemporary German artists and several of his works have set record prices at auction. He produced a series of monochrome, all-grey paintings, right after unveiling a set of vibrantly coloured works as his explorations of grey have prompted him to explain his interest in the hue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
