About the Show:
There are those who say that nothing is ever black and white, but instead a spectrum of shades of gray. And while many things can count this true, there are moments, feelings, and entire worlds that belong to the stark, the compelling, the bare form and the contrast of black and white.
Beaux Arts asks artists to submit photographic pieces that show us the stark, the simply raw forms and elements of our world before us. Artworks that must captivate in their black and white form for art sake.
About the Juror:
At the age of 10, his mother handed him a disposable film camera on a family trip to Disney World. “You can take pictures of anything you like, but don't get the sun in the images.”
