      The term indigomania was coined for the Impressionists’ unhealthy passion for blues.

      from The essence of blue

      by Belinda Recio and Catherine Kouts

      *

      The term indigomania, for example, which critics used to describe Impressionists’ seemingly irrational passion for blues and violets, not only carried with it certain psychological and medical implications – Huysmans originally described Impressionists’ indigomania as a bizarre form of color blindness brought on by mental illness – but also referenced the culture of intense, short-lived fads … Indigomania was not so much a physiological phenomenon as a social and economic one born of modern consumer culture.

      ... One year one paints violet and people scream, and the following year every one paints a great deal of violet, Manet remarked on a different occasion.
