Colours in art
Did you know that red was trendy in ancient Greece and was even used to represent the sky? And that the artist Yves Klein created his own colour (IKB blue) and licensed it ? Green was often associated with the devil and monsters during the Middle Ages... Used for thousands of years by artists, colours have always had a very strong symbolism. So, to analyse better artworks and understand the evolution of colours, you're in the right place!

For its fifth instalment, the Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color Theory and Color Studies (finally) presents a true primary color. . . COBALT BLUE with guest Isabella Segalovich @interstellar_isabellar on TikTok and Instagram – Professor of Interior Design at Kean University and member of the New York Crit Club faculty. She is also a writer, teacher, and content creator who educates on the intersections of art, design, and politics and regular contributor to Hyperallergic.
