Qu’est-ce que la couleur ? À coup sûr, une composante essentielle de notre expérience visuelle, mais dont il n’est pas facile de parler : elle est l’un des aspects du visible les plus chargés en expressivité potentielle, mais les langues pratiquées à la surface du globe, peinant à la désigner avec précision, lui confient des rôles symboliques multiples et variés.Conçu comme une introduction didactique, cet ouvrage offre un panorama aussi vaste et précis que possible des problèmes liés aux discours sur la couleur. On y verra que celle-ci est devenue, au fil des siècles, l’apanage d’un domaine avec lequel elle a fini par presque se confondre, la peinture, et par la suite les images photographiques et leur descendance. Comment la peinture a-t-elle acclimaté le monde de la couleur ? Comment les créateurs ont-ils trouvé des lois pour régler son usage et théoriser sa valeur ? Comment cela s’est-il formalisé dans d’autres discours, esthétiques, poétiques, critiques ? Telle est la visée de ce livre unique et passionnant qui initie ainsi à l’analyse de la couleur dans les images.

A beautifully presented survey of design and the applied arts, explored not by use, material, form or date - but by colour The V&A Book of Colour in Design is attractively simple: a celebration and exploration of colour, as revealed through objects in the world-class collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Structured by colour, it offers fascinating insights into the choices made by designers and makers from across the world and throughout history. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction that considers the history, symbolism, and use of an individual colour. Objects - from items of jewelry, textiles, glassware and ceramics to furniture and more - are reproduced in a visual selection that explores the varied hues of every colour. However different objects within each section may be in their detail and meaning, they are united by their common colour, revealing surprising connections between them. Throughout, narrative captions bring together disparate items from across the V&A's collection to explore the universal significance of colour in art and design. Beautifully designed, this highly visual, colour-led survey of design and the applied arts is a compelling sourcebook with broad appeal for anyone interested or involved in all aspects of visual culture.

"In The Meaning of Color in Ancient Mesopotamia, Shiyanthi Thavapalan offers the first in-depth study of the words and expressions for colors in the Akkadian language (c. 2500-500 BCE). By combining philological analysis with the technical investigation of materials, she debunks the misconception that people in Mesopotamia had a limited sense of color and convincingly positions the development of Akkadian color language as a corollary of the history of materials and techniques in the ancient Near East"--
