Krátky popis
'This book is a triumph ... an intellectual feast as well as a
visual one - a true biography of colour which will delight readers'
Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber EyesThe subject of
this book is humankind's extraordinary relationship with colour. It
is composed of a series of voyages, ranging across the world and
throughout history, which reveal the meanings that have been
attached to the colours we see around us and the ways these have
shaped our culture and imagination.It takes seven primary colours -
black, red, yellow, blue, white, purple and green - and uncovers
behind each a root idea, based on visual resemblances or properties
so rudimentary as to be common to all societies. The book traces
these meanings to show how they changed and multiplied, the role
that they have played in our culture and history, and how
understanding them allows us to see many of the milestones in the
history of art - from Bronze Age gold-work to Turner, Titian to
Yves Klein - in a new way. It proceeds by stories, which
cumulatively tell another, larger one: a history of the world from
the black nothing which preceded existence to the birth of our
red-blooded species, the gilded gods who animated the world in
antiquity to the blue horizons which framed the Age of Discovery,
the pristine aspirations of Enlightenment, the technicolour
innovation which fuelled the Industrial Revolution and the colour
which most embodies the environmental crisis which now faces us.
