Cyanine Blue 

Editor: Here we have Cyanine Blue, by James Newman. It's, well, literally a bottle of pigment, and it sits so starkly next to the color calibration chart! What secrets do you think a simple jar of blue holds? Curator: Ah, that little star on the label! It winks at the alchemy of color, doesn't it? For me, it's about potential, about the vast skies and deepest oceans that live within those vibrant grains, waiting for an artist's touch to set them free. It's almost poetic, wouldn't you say? Editor: Absolutely, it's like a tiny universe bottled up! I never thought of pigment in such a…romantic way. Curator: Art isn't just *in* the painting, is it? Sometimes, it's patiently waiting to become one.
