Black is one of the boldest, most powerful colors.

As Matisse stated, “Black is a force: I depend on black to simplify the construction.”

In recognition of “Black Friday”, I applaud extraordinary artists who use the power of black as one of their predominant features.

For example, Barbara Rachko is internationally recognized for her unique pastel-on-sandpaper paintings that are inspired by Mexican and Guatemalan cultural objects. She is also an author and maintains a popular art blog. www.barbararachkoscoloreddust.com
