: Blå Dør

For : Blå Dør, Tal R worked with indigo, a particularly deep and rich variety of the colour blue. Indigo is close to the shade of blue used in the traditional colour wheel, and it is said to be one of the six colours of the rainbow. It is extremely difficult to use in painting, as its great depth can only come forth if the surface to which it is applied is extremely matt. This depth can best be achieved in cloth and the medium of intaglio printmaking, where the colour is applied thickly and sits slightly exalted on the paper.
