Yellow Ochre 

Editor: Here we have Yellow Ochre, a pigment manufactured by James Newman. It strikes me as so simple, almost elemental. What stories do you think it could tell? Curator: Well, imagine the hands that have reached for ochre over millennia. Cave painters in Lascaux, Renaissance masters, even you, perhaps, in your first painting class. It's more than pigment; it's a connection across time. Does that color chart make you wonder if this is meant to become something else? Editor: Absolutely, it's a bridge between the raw material and a finished artwork. I'll never look at yellow ochre the same way again. Curator: Exactly! A humble jar of pigment, yet it holds the potential for infinite expression.
