At the Mansion

Opening Reception
Tuesday, November 20

Grayscale
Forget about fifty shades—the magic of grayscale is infinite! From white to black and back again, the art of Grayscale explores the connection of grayscale images to the past and their meaning in the present, and addresses viewers’ ability to ascribe color to a black and white image by assessing the intensity of light that is different for every color.
