I went to the AGO yesterday and saw a Picasso from the artist’s blue period. “There are about fifteen shades of blue in this painting,” I said to Jason. To say I love the colour blue is an understatement. But not all blues are made equal. I love a Prussian blue, and that glorious lapis colour that appeared on Egyptian tombs. I love the blue that appears on shutters in the Cyclades. And the moody, teal blue of Picasso’s famous self portrait. An exhibition of Picasso’s blue period is coming to Toronto in June 2020.
