When did color photography become important to fine art photographers, and why was it ignored until then?

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: Until the late 1960s, color photography was largely ignored by fine art photographers because it was associated with advertising. Until the late 1960s, color could only be processed in commercial labs, and color photographs could not be controlled as easily as black-and-white images. In the 1970s, color photography was made easier to control, and it began to be used by fine art photographers.
