Ad Reinhardt did similar work. There are versions of Reinhardt's black paintings at MOMA in NY, and another at the Peggy Guggenheim in Venice, Italy. I've seen both in both locations, and in each, the blackness is painted in cubed layers. You have to look at the work from an angle with an angle of light shining on the piece to see the intricacy. The black paint is actually very meticulously applied to the canvas.
It's one of those things where you need to be there.
