Book Description

Essence of Blue is the first in a series of beautifully illustrated gift books that focus on essential elements in interior decoration. Alongside stunning photos, the lively text offers insights into the role played by the color blue in one's life and home. For instance, readers will find explanations for why a bedroom is the ideal place to use blue: "Blue is a color that recedes, conjuring up a sense of space and peacefulness, so is the ideal choice for a relaxing bedroom." Images are grouped thematically, with sections on blue in nature, denim and ticking, blue in the kitchen and bedroom. Practical suggestions for incorporating these elements into decorating schemes assure that their "essence" shines through.

5 out of 5 stars Soothing Book.......2000-11-01

I have loved the color blue as long as I remember. I want to decorate with blue, but I don't want it to be overpowering or boring.

The photographs in this book show many ways to use blue and combinations of blue and other colors that are beautiful and soothing. The text explains why many people prefer this color.

I highly recommend this book.

    5 out of 5 stars Nothing But Blue Skies!.......2004-01-26

    For those of you, like me, who think the color blue is one of the best things God ever did for us will find this book fascinating. Ms. Recio divides the book into an introduction, four chapters-- Feeling Blue, Seeing Blue, Creating Blue, Discovering Blue and a conclusion, Into the Blue. The book contains literally hundreds of facts about the color blue, some of them well-known and others quite obscure. Some of her conclusions are well-founded, others are speculative; and that's okay. Blue is symbolic of virtue, quality, heaven, the divine, purity-- the Virgin's cloak is often a beautiful shade of blue. For Hebrews, blue is the color of the glory of God. The flag of Israel is blue and white. The flag of the U. S. contains the color blue. Blue is associated with law and order-- as in police uniforms-- serenity, calmness (doctors' offices are often in shades of blue.) As seen from space the earth is blue. The ocean is blue. Many people do their bedrooms in blue or blue and white, a restful combination of colors. Ms. Recio discusses the color blue in art-- the Impressionists' obsession with blue-- in music-- the blues, bluegrass, "Rhapsody in Blue", "Mood Indigo," et cetera-- peacocks, butterflies, morning glories. The significance of blue in fashion, blue jeans, a navy blue suit for confidence and sobriety. I can testify that when I wear a navy pinstripe suit that the Red Sea parts for me. People are drawn to me like moths to a flame-- a blue one of course.

    In addition to lots of facts and suggestions about blue-- my favorite is that the abstract painter Wassily Kandinsky, an accomplished cellist, considered the cello to be dark blue-- there are many beautiful blue photographs here illustrating the author's thesis.

    5 out of 5 stars Informative.......1999-07-14

    I really enjoyed this book. As a photographer I am always looking at the world of color, and what the colors can represent and how they have been used throughout history. I feel like this book is informative without really giving an opinion, but leaving that up to the reader.
