Résumé:
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.

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.

Résumé:
Les couleurs sont omniprésentes dans notre quotidien, et définir ce qu'est une couleur semble un exercice facile. C'est en réalité une notion difficile à cerner : la couleur du peintre n'est pas celle du physicien, la couleur biologique ne correspond pas à celle du numérique. Une couleur peut se voir, se toucher, se nommer ; on peut aussi mesurer sa longueur d'onde, la décomposer en pigments, l'inscrire dans un système ou tout simplement la ressentir. La couleur a son mot à dire dans les domaines les plus variés : sciences, symbolique, culture, zoologie, savoir-faire, histoire, économie. Lumière sur la couleur, destiné à un large public, rassemble dans un ouvrage abondamment illustré les différents aspects de ce sujet fascinant. Conçu par sept spécialistes de haut niveau, il propose une approche pluridisciplinaire permettant de définir et de comprendre notre relation au monde de la couleur.
