I've noticed a parallel between visual art and music. Most people seem to not take pencil work, or most black and white mediums, seriously, as opposed to color images. The same can be said about acoustic, and full band songs. Being a sound guy in a musical venue, and going to various shows has shown me that people seem to not pay attention when there aren't drums.
I think these both are injustices. Why can't black and white images, and acoustic music be respected? If that's the final way the artists meant for them to be then why can't we still appreciate the work that went into it?
