RED OCHER

Did your know that red ocher is the most common red pigment in the world? The reason for its ubiquity involves both the stars and nuclear fusion. Red ocher contains iron oxide, which requires, unsurprisingly, iron and oxygen. When a star explodes as a supernova, it produces large quantities of iron. Combine this with the most common element on Earth–oxygen–and you have an important ingredient in red ocher. Learn more about this process in Victoria Finlay’s new book, The Brilliant History of Color in Art! 

Though not as important in the market today, Polaroid was at the center of American photography for decades. Curator Mary-Kay Lombino recently compiled some of the best images using the Polaroid camera into a book titled The Polaroid Years: Instant Photography and Experimentation.
