"Walker Evans, the great monochromatic photographer, considered colour photography a 'vulgar' medium. He also thought of colour as somethign that came up from the streets, discordantly and incoherently:...'colour> photographers confuse colour with noise,' they '[blow]> you down with screeching hues alone.. a bebop of> electric blues, furious reds and poison greens.'" -> David Batchelor, "Chromophobia", quoting Sally> Eauclaire, "The New Colour Photography" (New York, 1981)
