Prof. Jinah Kim Collaborates on New MFA Exhibit focused on Red, Yellow and Gold in South Asian Paintings

Jinah Kim, the George P. Bickford Professor of Indian and South Asian Art, Department of History of Art and Architecture, and Professor of South Asian Studies in the Department of South Asian Studies at Harvard, runs the Mapping Color in History (MCH) Project, a digital research platform that brings together the scientific data drawn from existing and ongoing material analyses of pigments, especially in Asian painting, to enable historical research. She has been working with the MFA from the beginning of the project and shared more in this Q&A about the collaboration and the exhibit now on display.
