Summertime Blues

See how happy the blues can make you feel – with a visit to the Hirshhorn Museum to see Yves Klein: With the Void, Full Powers. Just don't dally ... the exhibit ends Sept. 12. Meantime, you can take a look at a great preview of the exhibit, here.

Cosmogenie de la pluie (COS 36), 1961
The French artist with great dramatic flair patented his very own color, Klein International Blue. His poor bride had to wear a crown painted that signature hue for their wedding, and was still upstaged by her flamboyantly attired groom.

Paris wedding, 1962.

How does art make you feel?

Wow.
Like the color, too bad for the bride. She looks less than enthusiastic.
I think living with the right type of art can sorely make you smile and put a spring in your daily step. But I am a stickler for finding the right piece for the right place or vica versa findingthe right piece and making it work in the right space.
