Shades of Blue 59 | sanda michaela ART

A study of blue as interpreted by some of the most influential figures in art history. This curation features pieces by Robert Hope, Federico and Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta, Ferdinand Max Bredt, Edvard Munch, Rik Wouters, Arkady Rylov, Jules-Élie Delaunay, Kees van Dongen, and Odilon Redon. The transition of blue through these various styles—from the rigid elegance of 19th-century portraiture to the expressive, emotive landscapes of Symbolism and Fauvism—demonstrates the color's evolution. From the somber, melancholic tones of Munch to the vibrant, experimental surfaces of van Dongen, blue serves as a bridge between tradition and the dawn of modern aesthetic sensitivity.
