The Blue That Upended the Art World
Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair tells the stories of two highly prized colors that are linked to specific places in the world: an exquisite, extremely expensive blue that crossed the globe and upended the European art world… and a shade of purple that possibly wouldn’t have ever come to exist in a different place and time. Learn more about color history in Kassia’s book, The Secret Lives of Color Plus: We always want to hear from you!
