Further information:
BLAU translates BLUE. "Konrad Bayer's text 'der stein der weisen' is illustrated with collages made up of reproduced 19thcentury wood engravings."(p. 142) "Bayer describes (seeming) opposites such as body and spirit, inside and outside, the natural and the artificial, in text montages, leading to thye idea that one part of reality is not visual, but is surreal" (p. 56) (from the catalogue) BLAU belongs with YELLOW and ROUGE to the trilogy of primary colours.
