Painters in Color

Sonia and Robert Delaunay, 1923.

As in the case of Paris Coloré, this time someone found a good reason to color old photos of visual artists in order to make them more close to us, just by reducing the distance that black and white sometimes may create. As great admirers of b/w, of course, we have nothing against its inspiring power to make us dream and imagine, but the result of this experiment has its fascination, too.

Painters in Color carefully selected some shots of masters like Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Matisse, Paul Gauguin, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso, Edward Hopper, Gustav Klimt, Amedeo Modigliani and less known artists to give us a different new way of looking at them.
