本书追溯了蓝色如何从一种稀有珍贵的颜料演变为强大的艺术表达工具——从中世纪祭坛画到现代主义实验。从古埃及的钴蓝釉彩到伊夫·克莱因大胆的单色画，蓝色在不同时代承载着神圣与颠覆的双重意义，是权力、纯洁、悲伤与超越的象征。书中追踪了群青、靛蓝和合成群青等颜料的发展如何改变了蓝色的含义与图像志。收录了从埃及彩陶和中世纪手稿到乔托的壁画、维米尔的室内画、莫奈的水景，以及北斋、毕加索和伊夫·克莱因等艺术家的标志性作品，每幅图像都配有对其制作与意义的深入解读。

Discover how the color blue evolved from a rare and sacred pigment to a powerful tool of artistic expression—from medieval altarpieces to modernist experiments. From the cobalt glazes of ancient Egypt to Yves Klein's bold monochromes, blue has carried meanings both sacred and subversive across eras. Along the way, blue has been a symbol of power and purity, of sorrow and transcendence. This book traces how those meanings, symbolism, and iconography shifted through the evolving availability of pigments such as lapis lazuli, indigo, and synthetic ultramarine. A wide-ranging selection of iconic works—from Egyptian faience and medieval manuscripts to Giotto's radiant frescoes, Vermeer's quiet interiors, Monet's shimmering waters, and the radical experiments of Hokusai, Picasso, and Yves Klein—show how artists have used blue to evoke emotion, suggest atmosphere, and reimagine the visible world. Each image is paired with a thoughtful reflection on its making and meaning; and how the pigment was sourced, applied, and understood in its cultural moment. Designed for visual impact and intellectual clarity, the fascinating juxtaposition of art from all periods and all continents invites readers to look closely at masterpieces both surprising and familiar—and to reconsider how a single color has reflected and reshaped the human experience
