BLUE

The sky grew darker, painted blue on blue, one stroke at a time, into deeper and deeper shades of night.
― Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance
The theme of our second juried show was Blue, that most evocative of colors. Blue. Noun, verb, adjective. An inspiration to artists and songwriters for centuries. The blue of the turban in Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring,” Picasso’s blue period, Kandinksy’s “Blue Rider,” Van Gogh’s self portrait in blue, Matisse and Dufy’s Blue Windows... the list is endless. Or maybe you think of music: Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Am I Blue?”, the Moody Blues, “Misty Blue,” “Blue Velvet,” “Suite Judy Blue Eyes,” “The Blue Danube.” Or perhaps it’s nature that inspires you to think of blue. The vastness of the sky or the ocean, the blue of a cat’s eyes, or the sweet bluebirds in the fields.

AN HOMAGE TO KANDINSKY’S CIRCLES

Each color lives by its mysterious life.
