Ultramarine Pink 1941

Editor: Here we have "Ultramarine Pink," made in 1941 by The Standard Ultramarine Co. It's a curious object, almost like a time capsule. I wonder, what does this color sample signify to you? Curator: It’s fascinating how a seemingly simple object like this pigment sample can open a window into the history of color production and standardization. Consider the social and economic forces that shaped the creation and distribution of this "Ultramarine Pink." Editor: I see what you mean. It's not just a color; it represents industry and perhaps even artistic trends of the time. Thank you! Curator: Precisely! And reflecting on the object's journey into a museum, it makes you question how we assign value and meaning to everyday objects.
