Im Stadtmuseum Mühlheim (Offenbach am Main) ist derzeit "Europas ältester Farbtopf" zu sehen - mit neuen Einblicken in die prähistorischen Ursprünge von #Kunst und Kreativität hat eine Studie von Forscherinnen und Forschern der @AarhusUni und #RGK_DAI die früheste bekannte Verwendung von #blauem #Pigment in Europa identifiziert:

Portrait of little Dorian, a viewer request from one of my streams. The owner is curious about the #pigment PBk19 and so it's what I used to paint him. With additional goodie of PO49 for the bell.

Dorian is cute and adorable, it was lots of fun to paint him.

New Color Study video went live today, it's about pigment PV23 Dioxazine Violet, which is found in almost every basic set, in school, student grade and professional paints alike. It's a lovely purple, but what's more to it, the properties, how it mixes and how dangerous or not it is for our environment, you can see here:

Prehistorische grotschilderingen zijn misschien wel het bekendste gebruik van #pigment in de #archeologie

Voor #ArchInk ging ik lekker aan de knutsel met die oude tray kinder-waterverf om zo'n prehistorische handafdruk na te maken!

Een deel van een handomtrek op een wit blaadje. Met bruintinten zijn strepen aangebracht: deze representeren de rotswand. De handomtrek is met een meer rode tint aangebracht, compleet met spetters.

Since it's hardly found as #pigment in nature, the colour #blue is believed to be a rather modern addition to our painting kits.

Until now: Turns out that apparently already #Paleolithic artists used blue pigment.

Margaret Beck and Matthew E. Hill Jr. detail their innovative #methods to investigate potential #slipmaterials and compare red #pigment hues. Using graphs, they analyze CIELAB color data to describe and compare hue.

Thortveitite is the main ore of scandium.

Titanite is prized for its beauty, comes in different colours & is a source of titanium and hence titanium dioxide, used as a white pigment since ~1910. So, it gets my art vote.

Gets physics vote for trichroism- transparent specimens can show 3 colours depending on viewing angle. #MinCup25 #scicomm #artHist #pigment

This intense green titanite, a modified oval cut faceted by Elvis “Buzz” Gray, exhibits great dispersion with flashes of spectral colors. At 43.52 carats it is a major upgrade for the National Gem Collection.

Piet Mondrian, Broadway Boogie Woogie
1942-43

Medium: Oil Support: Canvas Size: 127 x 127 cm
Art period: Neo-Plasticism Museum of Modern Art New York Painting 73.1943
Quote from the text at the website of the Museum of Modern Art on the painting Piet Mondrian, Broadway Boogie Woogie:
“In this painting, his penultimate, Mondrian replaced the black grid that had long governed his canvases with predominantly yellow lines that intersect at points marked by squares of blue and red. These atomized bands of stuttering chromatic pulses, interrupted by light gray, create paths across the canvas suggesting the city’s grid, the movement of traffic, and blinking electric lights, as well as the rhythms of jazz.”

Whites are titanium dioxide.

Jackson Pollock, Alchemy
1947
“Medium: Oil, aluminum, alkyd enamel paint with sand, pebbles, fibers, and broken wooden sticks Support: canvas Size: 114.6 x 221.3 cm
Art movement: Abstract Expressionism Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, Italy Painting
Jackson Pollock’s Alchemy is a seminal work of abstract expressionism and is one of the early works from the drip period. The pigment palette is unusually rich and consists of organic and inorganic pigments.

The pigment analysis revealed the use of mostly oil-based paints” including titanium dioxide

Both wavellite and dioptase are sometimes made into jewelry but (though a rare pigment) dioptase has been on artwork used since Neolithic times so it wins my art vote!

See for instance Neolithic sculpture from Jordan, some ancients Asian murals & Russian religious icons.
