Blue: Exploring Color in Art

Every color has a story to tell

We are all fascinated by the wonder of color, from the lightest to the darkest, from one shade to another. True Color is a series of books that explores the subtle differences of each color, how they were used, and why they were so important to famous artists throughout history.

Blue, perhaps the best loved color of all, is all around us. The sky, the sea dominate many works of art, but blue can also be mysterious, evoking infinity and stillness. From indigo to ultramarine, from the early Egyptians to modern art, True Color: Blue takes you on a journey of discovery.
