Cascade Blue 41 T 22 1941

Editor: So, this is "Cascade Blue 41 T 22," a pigment manufactured by Ansbacher-Siegle Corp. It's...well, it's literally a jar of blue pigment. I find myself drawn to the color chart alongside it. What do you see in this rather unusual piece? Curator: For me, it whispers of alchemy and transformation. Ansbacher-Siegle, conjuring this vibrant blue from... what mysterious processes? It makes me wonder about the artists who used this pigment, the worlds they painted with it. Think of the possibilities held within that little jar. Editor: That's a lovely way to look at it. I was stuck on "just a jar," but now I see the potential, the stories it could tell. Curator: Exactly! And isn't that what art, even raw pigment, is all about? The promise of a story waiting to be told?
