13.• X –Y (where X is the source/origin and Y the colour itself)

was a bituminous pigment, intermediate in tint between burnt umber and raw umber, which was one of the favorite colors of the Pre-Raphaelites.

• X-Y was originally made in the 16th and 17th centuries from white pitch, myrrh, and the ground-up remains of X, both human and feline. As it had good transparency, it could be used for glazes, shadows, flesh tones and shading. However, in addition to its tendency to crack, it was extremely variable in its composition and quality, and since it contained ammonia and particles of fat, was likely to affect other colours with which it was used..It fell from popularity during the 19th century when its composition became more generally known to artists. The Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones was reported to have ceremonially buried his tube of X-Y in his garden when he discovered its true origins.

• X is commonly used to describe wild or erratic behavior, but the phrase actually began its life as a medical term. The saying was popularized in the 18th and 19th centuries, when European visitors to Malaysia learned of a peculiar mental affliction that caused otherwise normal tribesmen to go on brutal and seemingly random killing sprees.

create a mural for the walls of New York’s Rockefeller Center. Given the theme of “Man at the Crossroads Looking with Hope and High Vision to the Choosing of a New and Better Future,” X responded with a revolutionary work that referenced scientific progress, civil rights and the plight of the working class. He also included a depiction of Y —a move that offended the sensibilities of his wealthy patrons. When X refused to remove Y from his mural, the Rockefellers had the work covered over with canvas frames and then later destroyed. X would go on to paint another version of his Rockefeller mural—this time titled “Man, Controller of the Universe”.
