Raw Umber 

Editor: So, here we have "Raw Umber," made by Tizian Color Co. It’s just… a bottle of pigment. It feels so elemental, almost like looking at a piece of earth history. What do you make of it? Curator: I see a beautiful tension between the manufactured and the natural. The Tizian Color Co. bottled this raw material, yet it retains a wildness. It’s like capturing a sunset in a jar, isn't it? Editor: That's such a great way to think about it! I was so focused on the "raw" aspect that I forgot how much processing goes into even a simple pigment. Curator: Exactly! It makes you wonder about the countless unseen hands involved in creating the art we admire. A humble reminder, perhaps. Editor: Definitely gives me a new appreciation. Thanks!
