Info
Pigment Stories is a richly illustrated book featuring fascinating and revealing insights into over sixty pigments written by Jackson’s Studio and Materials Specialist Evie Hatch. From earthy ochres used in prehistoric caves to the cutting-edge chemistry of modern colours, this beautiful publication traces how pigments have shaped art, science, and culture.
Every colour has a story. Follow Lamp Black’s progression from the soot of ancient oil lamps to the European printing press, trace Ultramarine Blue’s origins as a precious stone and its groundbreaking synthetic reinvention, and discover Dragon’s Blood, a pigment once believed to be drawn from mythic battles between dragons and elephants. Find out why Carmine connects Old Master paintings with confectionery, how the car industry has driven colour innovation, and which pigment you may have used to brush your teeth.
Pigment Stories Book by Jackson’s Art is illuminated with stunning photography by the Jackson’s Team, as well as artworks spanning from ancient to modern times, generously provided by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, National Gallery of Art, Wellcome Collection and The Walters Art Museum.
A book for artists and anyone curious about the intersection of art, history, and human creativity, this captivating collection reveals the hidden stories behind artists’ pigments, uncovering tales of discovery, innovation, and transformation.
