Some people ask, “Should I work in black-and-white, or in color?”

The answer might seem to be in one’s intentions or expectations, but it is found in the results.

A student once asked Ben Lifson how to use color. He replied, “Just like black-and-white.”

So for me, that means if I seek the additional layer of color content, I should never give up my concerns for expressive tonality and the critical figure-field relationships needed to describe a 3-dimensional illusionistic space.
