We should start by getting rid of the term "monochrome". Black and white aren't colors. Although I suppose grey is. Kinda.
We think of colors as wavelengths of light, but in more practical terms, a gray, black, or white can be a color if you can buy a tube of that color, or mix it from something.
I think of monochrome as encompassing various b&w things which aren't quite B&W, cyanotypes, toned prints, etc.... Ever go shopping for white paint? There's only a zillion variations of not-quite-white.
I like the term monochrome. It has received a bad rap as a type of often inferior display for electronic devices though.

At 57, I ain't neo-much-of-anything. :D My carbons have a touch of burnt sienna in them, and some of my old Portriga Rapid prints are split-toned, thus are no longer mono-chromes.
One of my TV's had a monochrome screen -- I tossed it out back in '74 or so...

Well you obviously don't take the post-neo-monochromist's manifesto seriously. GET OUT!

I have a hard time taking my self seriously at times! I will just have to remain a pre-post-neo-monochromist...:D

When art and anti-art collide, creativity is conserved through emission of some combination of manifestos, works, and critiques ...
