Artists

Hello, Can anyone tell me the name of the artist who once painted the whole canvas black and that was sold for like a handsome price?

Thanks

Ad Reinhardt did a whole series of black paintings. He also did an extensive amount of writing on these painting in particular. They are essays included in the book Art as Art. These explain the nature of the color black and how those paintings respond to abstract expressionism.

   There was this blind man who painted his canvas black and called it "My Life". Forgot his name though!
