Made in collaboration with our Young Producers, watch how visitors have reacted to artist Olafur Eliasson's 'Room for one colour', an immersive light installation currently featuring in our exhibition, 'Monochrome: Painting in Black and White'. • Monochrome: Painting in Black and White • 30 October 2017 – 18 February 2018 • Sainsbury Wing • Members go free. Pre-book tickets online and save: http://bit.ly/2wWXfWb • Explore the tradition of painting in black and white from its beginnings in the Middle Ages through the Renaissance and into the 21st century. • Painting using predominantly black-and-white pigments has long held a fascination for artists, yet there has never been a major exhibition on the subject. ‘Monochrome’ presents a series of case studies that investigate where and when grisaille painting was used and to what effect: from early religious works to paintings that emulate sculpture or respond to other media such as printmaking, photography, and film. • Comprising works on glass, vellum, ceramic, silk, wood, and canvas by artists such as Rembrandt, Picasso, and Gerhard Richter (1932–), ‘Monochrome’ encourages visitors to trace the fascinating but little-studied history of black-and-white painting. Exhibition organised by the National Gallery in collaboration with Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf. • Subscribe to be the first to know about all our new videos: http://bit.ly/1HrNTFd • Like the National Gallery on Facebook: / thenationalgallery • Follow the National Gallery on Twitter: / nationalgallery • Follow the National Gallery on Instagram: / national_gallery
