Poinsettia by Manufactured by F. Weber & Company, Inc.

Copyright: CC0 1.0

Editor: This is "Poinsettia" by F. Weber & Company, a small jar of watercolor paint. I'm struck by its simplicity; it feels like a relic from a bygone era. What does it evoke for you? Curator: It’s a humble object, but a portal, really. Imagine the thousands of paintings this little jar helped create. Weber's "Poinsettia"...a festive name for a pigment, isn't it? I wonder what dreams it fueled? Editor: That's lovely, thinking about the art it helped create! It's a bit like a time capsule. Curator: Precisely. It reminds us that even the smallest tools can contribute to something monumental. What a thought, eh?
