This short documentary will be linked here when it is released.

Joseph Sulkowski’s Magnum Opus
REMBRANDT'S LOST SECRET:
How the Invention of Oil Painting Colored Our World
By Peter Layne Arguimbau
As entertaining as it is informative, Arguimbau opens his book with his earliest memories of Frank Mason cooking up Maroger mediums with his father and Mason’s young son, Arden. Peter writes - ‘“What is this smoke all over the house!” my mother cried from the kitchen—but my father and Frank didn’t bother to respond.’ A page turner for any Mason fan.
