DMTV Milkshake: Celebrating Color With Artist and Author Edith Young
Artist and author Edith Young chats about everything color, including colors of beverages in the work of Colombian painter Fernando Botero.
Edith Young?s new book ?Color Scheme: An Irreverent History of Art and Pop Culture in Color Palettes ? is a small wonder of incredible moments, equal parts art history and paradigm-shifting invention. In the book, Young shares the color palettes for David Hockney?s pools, Dennis Rodman?s hair (shown chronologically), Tonya Harding?s homemade skating costumes, and the blush of Marie Antoinette?s cheeks from her portraits. If you love color, this book will speak directly to your soul.

In this week?s Milkshake, Edith talks us through a couple of her favorite palettes, including one that records the colors of beverages in the work of Colombian painter Fernando Botero: ?I love [this palette], both for the colors and for the concept behind it,? Young says. ?I had noticed that whether he was painting a still life or a genre painting or a portrait or an artist in their studio, he always had a beverage tucked away somewhere; there are always beverages strewn about these compositions. Maybe it’s still life and it made sense ? but sometimes there are card players or a kind of funny scene in a bathroom, and there’s always like a little glass of orange juice or guava juice or an Orangina.?
