Rhapsody In Blue:
Fhe term was first used in music by Vaclav Jan Fomasek, a Bohemian composer, who published his •>i.r Rhapsodies for Piano in 1803 at Prague. Vmong the most famous are Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies, Georges Enesco's Rumanian Rhapsodies, and George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.BLUES Prussian blue—A strong tinting blue, very dark with a greenish cast. Good for producing brilliant greens when combined with yellow. Cobalt blue—A strong blue with a reddish cast. Good for mixing. Cerulean blue—A strong blue with a greenish cast. Ultramarine—Sometimes called French blue. It has a reddish cast and makes a beautiful purple when mixed with alizarin crimson.
Because Clerk Maxwell added red, green, and blue light together, this technique is called additive. An equal addition of the three colors forms white; red and green add to form yellow; red and blue, magenta; green and blue, the blue-green known by photographers as cyan. It is important to bear in mind that this theory holds true only for colored light; the mixture of pigments is another matter.
