From factory work and revolt, technology and warfare, urbanity and pollution, and a rejection of the old status quo, this is a great article about the cultural history of black, by Mark Peplow.

It ranges from Anubis to Bideford black to industrialization, to an appropriate homage to Malevich, then Pierre Soulages, Rothko & Ad Reinhardt & finally to Frederik de Wilde.
