To start off my gallery, I thought about how blue can be used to achieve a somber, intuitive tone.

The final piece in the abstract blue art, I wanted to show how blue can create noise, but also create thickness and darkness.
Blue Dream, Yi, Hee Choung, 1990, From the collection of: Korean Art Museum Association
I breakaway from abstract, trying to use hard, dynamic lines to show how blue can stand out
Blue Space 2010, Yi, Hee Choung, 2010, From the collection of: Korean Art Museum Association
I picked this art piece because a majority of the colors are blue like the previous, but the lines are a lighter shade of blue, conveying a deeper feel of kindness with this image.

Madame Cézanne in Blue, Paul Cézanne, 1888 - 1890, From the collection of: The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

This piece I chose to show how colors like royal blue live up to their name and represent regality.
Seated Woman in Blue, Paul Cézanne, 1902-1904, From the collection of: The Phillips Collection
I chose this piece, still on the subject of people, to show the blue's represent not only regality but also age, the softer blues giving her figure the shape of an elder.
Portrait of Teresita Wearing Blue Bows, Benet Mercadé, Around 1872, From the collection of: Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya - MNAC, Barcelona
This piece I chose to show as blue can be used to imply pureness and honesty, the colors stand out against the darker background giving attention to the girl, while also letting her seem good.
Vincent van Gogh in Blue, Kang, Hyung Koo, 2007, From the collection of: Korean Art Museum Association
For my final piece, I chose how blues can be used to imply different textures and softness.
