Burnt Sienna by Manufactured by Tizian Color Co.

Editor: Here we have Burnt Sienna, by Tizian Color Co. It's just a bottle of pigment, but I find it so compelling! What story does this unassuming object tell? Curator: It speaks to the industrialization of art. Consider the labor involved. The pigment was mined, processed, packaged, and distributed. It shifts our focus to the means of production, don’t you think? Editor: Absolutely. It forces us to acknowledge art's connection to broader economic systems, but what about the color chart to the left? Curator: The chart becomes a critical tool, a standardization device in color production and how it aids in consumption of color. Now, how do you see the chart in relation to the pigment? Editor: That's a great point, I'm starting to look at the pigment as a mass-produced item. Thanks for your perspective.
