“Artists like Giotto, Monet, Renoir, and Van Gogh have been inspired by blue, with Picasso’s Blue Period producing melancholic works like La Vie and Klein’s International Klein Blue redefining the role of colour in modern art. Henri Matisse has explored the possibilities of blue throughout history, shaping artistic narratives from ethereal to sentimental,” said an organiser.
