Richard,
Have you seen the paintings from the early 19th century onwards? Can
you imagine Monet or Pollock in B&W? Or even the Sistine Chapel, or
the man who started it all, Giotto? Far Eastern Art has a lot more
monochromatic influence and impact, but definitely not Western or
Indian art.
Cheers
Jayanand
