The Kara Walker Effect?

The Book Design Review blog has a case of seeing silhouettes—black and white silhouettes, specifically—and suggests that this "return to handicraft" be called the Kara Walker effect. Walker is one of my favorites (and has previously been featured here and here), but I'm not sure she deserves the credit here. Commenters on the post discuss the use of silhouette for the last few centuries (including Apple's millennial embrace) and recommend additional artists who work in silhouette, such as Rob Ryan and Nikki McClure.
