Pigment, Technicolor, Marik

Kurt Andersen and his guest, the designer Todd Oldham, talk about the magic and usefulness of color. They hear about how Technicolor first dazzled moviegoers by matching the paint on the set to the aqua green of a starlet’s eyes. The composer Maria Schneider explains how some notes are green and others red; and a painter creates vivid scenes on canvas despite the fact that she’s blind.
