Titian, the 16th century Venetian painter, was, according to the Tate gallery catalogue, “famed for his uncompromising blues”. Using previously unknown pigments, he developed new shades of blue, based around ultramarine. In effect he invented The Blues. This was recorded and filmed in Austin TX with Robert Galindo on guitar.
