SHOW DESCRIPTION:
The color blue has an extensive and rich
artistic history, exerting its power on humanity’s social, religious,
and aesthetic imagination from ancient times onwards. Out of the
medieval era, various shades of blue came to signify royalty, religious
purity, romance, sadness, and the great expanses of nature. In the 20th
century, the rise of monochrome and the advent of space photography
further expanded the blue’s aesthetic domain. That being said, what’s
new in blue? Our call seeks to further this exploration of color in
contemporary practice. Works in traditional and new media are invited,
as are the freshest and freest ideas.
