BOOK TIP:

The Brilliant History of Color in Art by Victoria Finlay 

Turmeric and it’s golden color always inspires thoughts of Thai style frescos & SE Asian Buddhist temples … this is another Victoria Finlay masterpiece on color & its many facets!

The history of art is inseparable from the history of color. And what a fascinating story they tell together: one that brims with an all-star cast of characters, eye-opening details, and unexpected detours through the annals of human civilization and scientific discovery.

Written for newcomers to the subject and aspiring young artists alike, readers of this book will revel in a treasure trove of fun-filled facts and anecdotes. Were it not for Cleopatra, for instance, purple might not have become the royal color of the Western world. Without Napoleon, the black graphite pencil might never have found its way into the hands of Cézanne. Without mango-eating cows, the sunsets of Turner might have lost their shimmering glow. And were it not for the pigment cobalt blue, the halls of museums worldwide might still be filled with forged Vermeers.

Turmeric, though brilliant gold as a spice, will degrade quickly when exposed to light, so it makes a poor dye or paint. It is best enjoyed in foods and SAKU beverages : )
