In Culture
The Winsor & Newton paints are repeatedly referenced in Dorothy Sayers' 1931 detective novel "Five Red Herrings" whose plot deals with a painter being murdered and six other painters being suspected of killing him. The painting habits of the suspects, including which kind of paint is used by each, turn out to provide crucial clues eventually leading Lord Peter Wimsey to the real culprit.
Karlheinz Stockhausen and his studio assistants read product names from the Winsor & Newton catalog aloud in his electronic composition Hymnen.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“The white dominant culture seemed to think that once the Indians were off the reservations, they’d eventually become like everybody else. But they aren’t like everybody else. When the Indianness is drummed out of them, they are turned into hopeless drunks on skid row.”
—Elizabeth Morris (b. c. 1933)
“Ours is a culture based on excess, on overproduction; the result is a steady loss of sharpness in our sensory experience. All the conditions of modern life—its material plenitude, its sheer crowdedness—conjoin to dull our sensory faculties.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
