Berlin Blues 4 1965

Editor: William Scott’s *Berlin Blues 4* features arrangements of shapes in blue. It strikes me as both playful and somber at the same time. What do you see in this piece? Curator: The repeated shapes echo like memories, don't they? These simple forms—triangles, ovals—resonate with archetypal symbols. The blue, a colour often linked to contemplation, hints at a deeper, perhaps melancholic, narrative. Notice how the shapes both connect and remain isolated. Editor: Yes, that push and pull between connection and isolation really stands out. What could that symbolize? Curator: Perhaps Scott is exploring the duality of the Berlin experience—a city marked by both division and a longing for unity. Think of how the colour blue can represent both serenity and sadness. These shapes, arranged almost like hieroglyphs, invite us to decipher their hidden meaning. Editor: That's fascinating, I didn’t think about it that way. Thanks for sharing those insights. Curator: My pleasure. It's amazing how simple forms can carry such weight, isn't it?
