Pigment Shop in NYC - What a Find!

American Dream: To Create Great Art

I stumbled upon Kremer Pigments at 247 West 29th Street. I was just walking down the street and saw these flaming bright colors in the window and had to go in and take pictures. 

Doesn't every artist dream of being immortal, having the nuances of their art and craft studied by generations to come? This is a shop where those dreams start to come true.

In this display case, there are colors like Marienglas, Pyramid Yellow, Van Dyck Brown, 
Cobalt Blue Turquoise.  

Look at these deep, rich colors, floor to ceiling on every wall!

Don't these colors make you want to scream for a canvas and brushes?!!

All these colors really jazz me. How about you?


This was the scene in the window that stopped me in my tracks. They grind up those solid chunks of stuff in the foreground to put in the bottles, sell to artists, who create big, bold, dangerous art with all this color. Neat, huh?
