Cremnitz white

Freud painted the nude Ms. Tilley asleep on a sofa, her face smushed into the floral-pattern cushion, her belly flopping over her right thigh, her pasty skin cast as streaks of the artist’s favored Cremnitz white.

Some deep cadmium yellow which we ourselves prepared was intimately mixed and ground with an equal quantity by weight of Cremnitz white, and an oil rub of the compound laid upon a tile.

Cremnitz white is the brightest white that is used in oil: it possesses rather less body than flake white, because the particles are finer.

The circumambient air Was filled with miscellany, And damaged quite beyond repair Was Cremnitz White Mulvaney!
