Editor: This is "Milori Yellow, light," by Wadsworth, Howland & Co. It's really just a sample of pigment, housed in a small glass jar, but I'm fascinated by how vibrant and concentrated the color appears. What can you tell me about it? Curator: Consider how the composition foregrounds the raw materiality of color. The yellow pigment, offset by the color calibration card, becomes an object of study. Note how the geometric arrangement contrasts with the subtle variations within the pigment itself. What properties of color are accentuated by this presentation? Editor: The intensity, definitely. Seeing it isolated like this really makes you focus on the hue and texture. Thanks for pointing that out! Curator: Indeed. It is a remarkable study in color and form.
