For its second episode, the Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color Theory and Color Studies presents . . . MAGENTA.
Join us as we discuss MAGENTA’S history involving flowery military uniforms, CMKY, cease and desist letters, and Charles Burchfield. We also get into the weeds regarding our associations with MAGENTA through data compiled by the Art Slice Pantrémon from clinical participants.
