Summary/Abstract: Although black does not occur in the visible spectrum, being characterized as the complete absence or absorption of light, the intimacy of this noncolor with perception and implicitly with re(presentation) is the most accentuated of all other possible combinations. Black also has the widest range of semiotic associations in human history. The present observational research aims to decipher the aesthetics of black in relation to physical reality, as a subjective reflection, thus invariably bringing a contribution to knowledge.
