Blue: From Ancient Egypt to Yves Klein

This beautifully illustrated book traces blue's journey across centuries—from ancient Egyptian glazes through medieval manuscripts to masterpieces by Vermeer, Monet, Picasso, and Yves Klein. Discover how artists used this single color to convey emotion, atmosphere, and meaning, and how its shifting availability transformed both artistic practice and cultural symbolism.
