Description: "In works of art, gray can signal the absence of color or be a color in its own right, a zero point in the art of painting or its summation. Gray is at once a means of (material) mimesis and abstraction, a mode of reflection, and a medium for presenting reality. The essays collected in this volume address the multifaceted nature of the phenomenon, its aesthetic implications, and the functional contexts of the "color gray."--
