Colorless images might bring up many different associations for the viewer, including nostalgia (associating with B/W photography), the pallor of death, cheap reproduction (associating with copiers and newspapers), or perhaps a sense of incompletion.
With the attention to color eliminated, the artist can direct the viewer’s attention exclusively to the forms and shapes depicted.
