I found it interesting that the color blue he saw or did for this art piece wasn’t painted but Conceited in a scientific way, by using chemicals. “The darkened ultramarine, technically Rhodopas M60A thinned with ethanol and ethyl acetate to preserve luminescence, was concocted by the scientifically advanced artist with a Parisian color merchant and chemists at Rhone-Poulenc.”
