Summary:
Andrinople, carmin, cramoisi, écarlate, pourpre, rubis... rouge cardinal, Carpaccio, Dior, Ferrari, opéra, Valentino... rouge baiser, glamour... ruban rouge, la Butte rouge, Julie la Rousse, le Petit Chaperon rouge, l'Oeuvre au rouge... Rouge comme l'amour, le feu, l'érotisme, rouge de colère et rouge de honte, rouge de l'enfer et du diable, des guerres, de la violence et des révolutions. Rouge comme le sang du Christ qui purifie et comme la pourpre des empereurs. Rouge comme la gloire et comme le triomphe. Au fil des mots, le rouge, couleur ambivalente entre toutes, déploie ses jeux d'associations symboliques, oscillant d'un contraire à l'autre, mêlant le profane au sacré, la jouissance à l'effroi, l'ardeur à l'interdiction, le désir de purification au tabou de la chair. Couleur sensuelle et terrifiante à la fois, témoignage des contradictions de l'âme humaine et miroir de notre société contemporaine. Préface de Sonia Rykiel.

Summary:
Black has always stood for powerfully opposed ideas: authority and humility, sin and holiness, rebellion and conformity, wealth and poverty. In this illustrated book, the acclaimed author of Blue now tells the fascinating social history of the color black in Europe. For Pastoureau, the history of any color must be a social history first because it is societies that give colors everything from their changing names to their changing meanings--and black is exemplary in this regard. In dyes, fabrics, and clothing, and in painting and other art works, black has always been a forceful--and ambivalent--shaper of social, symbolic, and ideological meaning in European societies. With its striking design and compelling text, Black will delight anyone who is interested in the history of fashion, art, media, or design.

Summary:
The colour black is considered by many as a simple expression of darkness and gloom, indeed as a non-colour or the mere absence of light. In actuality however, like no other colour it stands for entire conditions of the soul, for the immense wealth of cultural-historical connotations, which evokes the most opposing of associations: Malewitsch's black square, a black hole, black riders, the black widow, black magic, black sheep, black box or black beauty - black stands for the traditional and the modern, for reduction and for opulence, for deprivation and for exoticism, for eccentricity and for elegance, for gravity, etc.

She now has more than 900 recipes for paint from which she has proposed—based on her work with architects, designers, and historical preservationists—a selection of 128 colours that produce pleasant results on their own and also combine well. Each color is presented with a sample; their potential uses and significance are also discussed.

Summary:
Que reste-t-il des couleurs de notre enfance ? Quels souvenirs gardons-nous d'un lapin bleu, d'une robe rouge, d'un vélo jaune ? Ont-ils vraiment revêtu ces couleurs ? Plus tard, lesquelles associons-nous a nos années d'études, à nos premières amours, à notre vie d'adulte ? Comment la couleur s'inscrit-elle dans le champ de la mémoire ? Comment est-elle capable de la stimuler ? de la transformer ? Ou bien, au contraire, comment est-elle victime de ses caprices ou de ses intermittences ? Pour tenter de répondre à ces questions - et à beaucoup d'autres -, Michel Pastoureau nous propose un journal chromatique s'étendant sur plus d'un demi-siècle (1950-2010). Souvenirs personnels, notations prises sur le vil, propos débridés, digressions savantes ou remarques propres à l'historien : ce livre retrace l'histoire récente des couleurs en France et en Europe. De nombreux champs d'observation sont parcourus ou évoqués : le vocabulaire et les faits de langue. la mode et le vêtement, les objets et les pratiques de la vie quotidienne. les emblèmes et les drapeaux, le sport, la littérature. la peinture, les musées et l'histoire de l'art. Ce journal, tour à tour ludique, poétique et nostalgique, est à la fois celui de l'auteur et celui de nos contemporains. Nous vivons dans un monde de plus en plus coloré où la couleur reste un lieu de mémoire, une source de plaisirs et, plus encore, une invitation au rêve.
