Monochrome painting began in 1919 with White on White by Kasimir Malevich. A year later Alexander Rodchenko created primary color paintings. Artists like Ellsworth Kelly continued to develop monochromatic painting. Painters using one color toyed with the idea that painting was dead. But art writers like Carter Ratcliff postulate that monochromatic painting may have led to an elemental rebirth of the medium. 5, record 3, English, - cama%C3%AFeu

Au sens strict du terme, le camaïeu désigne une peinture dont le motif principal, d'une seule couleur, se détache par contraste sur un fond d'une seule couleur nettement différente, le plus souvent un blanc par rapport à un bleu, un rouge, un noir ou un vert, procédé qui imite les camées. L'effet de silhouette de ce motif se trouve donc accentué au point de créer l'illusion d'une «dentelle» ou d'un bas-relief comme dans les frises de style néo-classique peintes à la fin du XVIIIe siècle et au début du XIXe, et dans les fresques du style «pompéien» de la Restauration et du Second Empire. 3, record 3, French, - cama%C3%AFeu
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
camaïeu : Par extension, l'expression désigne aussi une peinture en grisaille (chiaroscuro, ou clair-obscur) utilisée depuis le XVe siècle en Italie dans les décorations monochromes ou à deux tons (clair sur sombre, beige sur rouge, par exemple), ou blanc sur gris, pour orner les murs des palais ou les dessus de portes. 3, record 3, French, - cama%C3%AFeu
