There are few things quite like the elegant drama that a black & white art piece can add to your home. That’s where these unique and wonderful pieces of black & white wall art come in very handy.
The very first piece of Black & White wall art that I ever owned was the classic – if perhaps slightly overused – “Moon and Half Dome” by Ansel Adams, which featured a moon rising over a huge rock-face.
I’m not sure what it was about that picture that appealed to me at the time, but it was when I first started noticing the importance of adding quality artworks to the home.
Before this point, I will admit, I had mostly decorated with movie posters and some IKEA rugs tacked up to the wall.
But once you discover a love of art, even if your taste changes over time, I don’t think you ever go back.
So today we celebrate the unique and stunning drama that is always provided by beautifully designed black and white art.
From contemporary to classic to country to just plain COOL, these black and white art pieces come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors… well, not colors… but they come in a variety of options that are neutral enough to fit into almost any decor scheme.
If you’re trying to find the perfect black & white wall art piece to add to your home, you’ve come to the right place. We hope that we can make that search easier by collecting some of the best black and white art and putting it all together in one place.
