Blue fascinated Magritte during his entire career. This color began to emerge after 1926, when it had a different emotional quality; about 1936 Magritte achieved transparency, lucidity, and depth in very faint blues.

The Marches of Summer is a fairly late and complicated imaginative composition in blues.
