Cadmium Yellow, light Possibly 18 - 34

Editor: This is "Cadmium Yellow, light," a pigment manufactured by F. Weber & Company. There’s no creation date, but the label is marked May 18, 1934. It's a jar full of bright yellow powder! How would you interpret this work? Curator: Well, it’s not just yellow powder, is it? It's potential, possibility. Think of all the paintings this jar might have contributed to! It’s a little time capsule, a preserved piece of art history itself. Does seeing it like this change how you view the object? Editor: Definitely! It makes me think about the life cycle of art, from raw material to masterpiece and beyond. Curator: Exactly! It’s a testament to the enduring power of color and the stories behind the art we see.
