The Colour blue is one that fascinates. Yves Klein can testify of its transcendence. This colour can be connected to spirituality, the surreal and everything inexplicable. It is a cold colour, and yet it draws you in and washes over you like the ocean. In its depths one is rocked asleep and guided toward a soothing state of hypnosis.
This project is a tribute to this colour and what it represents

My Manifesto
This is my personal Manifesto
Chosen Artist: Herbert Bayer
Bayer, H 1932, Self-portrait
Herbert Bayer was a Bauhaus designer who excelled in the areas of typography and graphic design. Bayer was fully committed to the Bauhaus philosophy of functional design and even helped design a new graphic design identity for the Bauhaus in 1925. His contribution in this included the design of the sans-serif lower-case typeface called Universal.
Working with such clients as Vogue magazine and the international advertising agency Dorland, Bayer incorporated photography into his designs. Photography and painting were some of his interests. The use of photography also revealed the influence of surrealism and Dadaism on his work.
Bayer moved to New York in 1938 in order to escape the repression of Nazi Germany. He established an office below the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
Later in Bayer’s life, he continued working in graphic design, book layout, mural painting , publishing, exhibition design, and industrial beautification. The influences of surrealism, Modernism, and color theory as well as his personal experiences were clearly seen in these works.

This poster was originally intended as a Dada poster but turned out as a combination between Surrealism and Dada. It is a tribute to Yves Klein and his love for the colour blue.
