  Eras of Yves Klein The Era of the Deciding That Line Is Jealous Of Colour Line Is A Tourist In Space The Era of the Blue Obsession The Era of Making a Myth of Oneself The Era of Patenting International Klein Blue (henceforth IKB) The Era of the End of Gravity and Beginning of Levitation The Era of One-Minute Fire Paintings  Anne Carson   The Klein blue is a vibrant and charismatic color with an interesting history behind it and also , a bit difficult to wear. Although I am tempted sometimes to arrange some monochromatic outfit (a bit Yves Klein stuff) I rather balance it with some other neutral colors. Like a vintage gray coat and a wool Mexican rebozo .     El azul Klein es un hermoso color con una interesante historia detrás, aunque un poco difícil de combinar. Si bien de pronto se me antoja usar un atuendo totalmente monocromático (un poco Yves Klein) en general se equilibra otro color neutral. Como esta chaqueta vintage gris y un rebozo mexica

  As I stared helplessly at the reflection of my own face in the large curved bowl  at the end of a spoon,  summer vacation  drew fully to an end. The chorus of cicadas vibrating the screen door suddenly picks up in intensity — as if to transport me back to the entrance to summer. Kiji Kutani Sun is almost gone. Long days and secluded nights of this strange lonely summer are over. I go out for a walk in an empty city, taking advantage of the last warm days. Blue sky on my back, high-heeled sandals, and coloured bracelets. The best is yet to come.

In an artistic context this colour would be called azure mist.     Fin de fiesta. Se terminan una vez más los largos días y las felices noches de éste verano tan extraño. Salir a caminar aprovechando los ultimos días buenos. Con el azul del cielo en

In these rooms where I live out our days, I wander round and round trying to find the windows. It will be a relief when a window opens. But the windows aren't there to be found - or at least I can't find them. And perhaps it's better if I don't find them. Perhaps the light will prove another tyranny.
