The composition of Black and white that tells a story each in a different way that should be appreciated not just by artistic eyes but by everyone.

Hatano. Kanagawa, Daido Moriyama, 1964 - 2013, From the collection of: Fondazione per l'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT
This portrays a baby and the composition of light and contrast is what truly amazes me and draws me towards this piece.
Orchid, Robert Mapplethorpe, 1985, From the collection of: SCAD Museum of Art
Outside the color scheme what impresses me and drew me toward this picture is its simplicity. It seems overlooked because it seems to portray just a flower, but i see a complex mix of ideas.

This piece shows a negro lady who became a star. I believe it tells a story just by looking at it.
Abstract, Londrina, PR. Brazil, Ohara, Haruo, 1969, From the collection of: Instituto Moreira Salles
I like this work because of the illusion it causes and the fact that it is in black and white. If you look at it carefully it looks like they both overlap each other.
PH-929, Clyfford Still, 1974, From the collection of: Clyfford Still Museum
