Summary:
From ancient plant pigments that are revolutionizing contemporary fashion to new colors, such as the recently viral Millennial Pink, this wide-ranging deep dive into the world of color guides readers through the origins, connotations, specs, brand associations and artistic use of colors throughout history. Unfolding, like a rainbow, across the visible spectrum, the chapters are divided by basic color - from red to violet and including black and white - and introduced with engaging background information. Each chapter takes a closer look at a variety of specific shades in the color family, delving into cultural references that span fashion, art history, traditional and modern crafts, and product design. Readers will learn about woad - an ancient pigment that was employed by William Morris and has resurfaced in sustainable dyes - as well as the earliest known use of violet some 25,000 years ago. Each shade is accompanied by sidebars that offer technical specifications, mood connotations, and examples of its use in art and commerce. Informative and endlessly inspiring, this guide will be indispensable to anyone interested in how to use and combine colors in their life or work.

The book discusses the role of art in architecture with a particular focus on colour and the dynamic relationships between light, form, material surface, space and movement. Drawing on historical examples to establish recurring themes, it examines the work of artists and architects whose use of colour is informed by artistic practice. It is divided into three main sections: the first focusing on architecture, the second on the artworks and the final section on collaboration. Throughout, it bridges time, comparing historic artworks and spaces with contemporary ones, addressing key questions such as ''if an artwork is self-sufficient, how is this accommodated within an architectural setting without compromising both?'' and setting out examples of what does and doesn’t work.

Cette constatation fait de la couleur le moyen d'expression artistique le plus relatif. Pour utiliser efficacement les couleurs il est indispensable d'admettre que la couleur trompe continuellement. A cet effet, il ne faut pas commencer par étudier les systèmes de couleurs préétablis. Il faut d'abord apprendre qu'une seule et même couleur appelle des lectures innombrables. Au lieu d'appliquer mécaniquement ou de simplement sous-entendre des lois et des règles d'harmonie, on produit des effets de couleur distincts en admettant l'interaction des couleur en obtenant, par exemple, que 2 couleurs différentes aient l'air identiques, ou presque. Le but de ce type d'étude consiste à développer par l'expérience à force de tâtonnements une capacité de voir la couleur. Cela signifie, précisément, voir l'action de la couleur aussi bien que ressentir les relations de couleur.

C’est probablement pourquoi elle est longtemps restée la couleur «par excellence», la plus riche du point de vue matériel, social, artistique, onirique et symbolique. Admiré des Grecs et des Romains, le rouge est dans l’Antiquité symbole de puissance, de richesse et de majesté. Au Moyen Âge, il prend une forte dimension religieuse, évoquant aussi bien le sang du Christ que les flammes de l’enfer. Mais il est aussi, dans le monde profane, la couleur de l’amour, de la gloire et de la beauté, comme celle de l’orgueil, de la violence et de la luxure. Au XVIe siècle, les morales protestantes partent en guerre contre le rouge dans lequel elles voient une couleur indécente et immorale, liée aux vanités du monde et à la «théâtralité papiste». Dès lors, partout en Europe, dans la culture matérielle comme dans la vie quotidienne, le rouge est en recul. Ce déclin traverse toute l’époque moderne et contemporaine et va en s’accentuant au fil du temps. Toutefois, à partir de la Révolution française, le rouge prend une dimension idéologique et politique. C’est la couleur des forces progressistes ou subversives, puis des partis de gauche, rôle qu’il a conservé jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Soutenu par une abondante iconographie, cet ouvrage est le quatrième d’une série consacrée à l’histoire sociale et culturelle des couleurs en Europe. Rouge.Histoire d'une couleur fait suite à Bleu. Histoire d’une couleur (2000), Noir. Histoired’une couleur (2008) et à Vert. Histoire d’une couleur (2013).
