Ultra Marine 

Editor: Here we have "Ultra Marine" by Tizian Color Co. It is... a jar of pigment. The ultramarine color is so intense, almost velvety. What catches your eye in this piece? Curator: The chromatic intensity is indeed striking. Note how the manufactured object is presented; the jar, the label, the color chart. Each element contributes to a study of color itself. Editor: So, it's about the essence of the color, removed from any context? Curator: Precisely. It encourages us to contemplate the pigment as a pure form, divorced from any representational function. It's color deconstructed. Editor: That's a very different way to look at it. I see it more as just a color in a jar. Thanks for the perspective! Curator: My pleasure. Close looking reveals the inherent qualities of even the most utilitarian objects.
