Blanco y Negro (White and Black) was a Spanish-language weekly art and literary magazine and later, the companion of the daily ABC. The magazine was established in 1891. Its title was a reference to the contrasts in life such as laughter and tears and the sad and happy. Its founder was Torcuato Luca de Tena. The magazine was controlled by the Catholic Church through Editorial Catolica which also published it on a weekly basis. The headquarters of the weekly was in Madrid.
