While I appreciate the point you're making; Franz Kline, abstract  
expressionist, painted almost entirely in black and white; and to  
very powerful effect. Lee Krasner also did many of her major work in  
monochromatic palettes, as did Barnett Newman and Willem de Kooning.  
And of course Siskind defined the genre in the black and white  
photographic medium.
