Lemon Yellow 

Curator: Here we have “Lemon Yellow,” a pigment manufactured by F. Weber & Company. Editor: Funny, it looks like sunshine bottled up, a little promise of summer on a shelf. Curator: Indeed. Pigments like these were crucial to artists. Weber was a prominent supplier, shaping visual culture through material availability. Editor: It’s amazing to think this little jar held the potential for countless masterpieces, or at least, some happy little trees. Curator: Exactly, the democratization of color through commercial manufacturing had profound implications for art. Editor: Makes you wonder, what would Van Gogh have done with a lifetime supply? Probably blinded us all with joy! Curator: An interesting thought about the power of a color. Editor: It's more than just sunshine in a jar, it's a whole revolution in how we see.
