About the book

Blue: From Ancient Egypt to Yves Klein traces the changing place of blue in art, from Egyptian glazes and medieval manuscripts to modernist experiments. It explores how the availability of pigments such as lapis lazuli, indigo and synthetic ultramarine shaped what artists could make.

Works by artists including Giotto, Vermeer, Monet, Hokusai, Picasso and Yves Klein are accompanied by reflections on colour, technique and cultural meaning. The wide-ranging selection invites a closer look at familiar masterpieces as well as less familiar discoveries.
