ALL OF BLUE
Color is the primary language of painting, the essential spirit of the medium. Minimalist artists have long considered this gospel truth: strip a painting to its core, and what remains is color.

Among the spectrum of hues, blue holds a particularly captivating allure—a color steeped in history, rarity, and meaning.
