It's amazing how black and white--gorgeous and, in almost every way, artistically superior to color--distances us from the subject, freezing it in an impregnable past. The color brings an instant immediacy, transforming these people from relics and crash-zooming them into focus so they are unavoidably relevant, forcing us to deal with them as if they were contemporaries. Oh, and Audrey Hepburn is sensuous beyond description. http://twentytwowords.com/2013/11/06/realistically-colorized-historical-photos-make-the-past-seem-incredibly-real-36-pictures/
