Colour in Art | Can the Politics of Colour Surpass its Subjective Stigma?

How do you overcome the extreme subjectivity of colour as a topic in art? María Castro Jímenez, pigment specialist and art historian, offers surprising new histories of colour. Can the study of colour reveal hidden pplitics of the past, present and perhaps the future of art? How do we go beyond the usual art explorations of perception? Or do they still have something to teach us? Why is colour taught conceptually and not as something you make? Did you enjoy the episode?
