Glossary Of Art Terms
[1] |
Achromatic Achromatic refers to colors or images that lack hue, appearing as grayscale tones ranging from black to white, with varying shades of gray in between. In an achromatic composition, color is absent, and emphasis is placed on tonal contrast, light, and shadow to create depth, form, and visual interest. Achromatic artworks often evoke a sense of simplicity, clarity, and austerity, allowing viewers to focus on the interplay of light and dark values without the distraction of color symbolism or emotional connotations. |
