For its SEVENTH installment, the Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color Theory and Color Studies brings you the extra-spectral, enigmatic (and sometimes controversial) PURPLE - and we have artist, illustrator, animator and (duncle) Caldwell Tanner of Not Another DnD Podcast (NaddPod), Drawfee, Big City Greens - on deck to help sort it out.
Is it actually violet? Or have color manufacturers fudged the visuals? Or is purple hidden in plain sight, filling in the voids of our imaginations and our physical world?
We get into all of this - discussing purple’s history - its ancient lineage beginning often laborious flora origins, its unwavering sense of mystery and wonder yet it’s reincarnation into pop cultural characters - as well as it's characteristics, and your color associations!
Key moments include: Grimace (original), Qin Shi Huang, world wide mollusk milking, purple kimonos, Klasky Csupo, Cleopatra, Grimace (current day), colorful Giallo horror flicks, Harry Clarke, Lois Dodd, and what kind of pants robots could wear...
