Noir. Couleur des ténèbres, de la mort et de l'enfer, le noir n'a pas toujours été une couleur négative. Au fil de sa longue histoire, il a aussi été associé à la fertilité, à la tempérance, à la dignité, à l'autorité. Et depuis quelques décennies, il incarne surtout l'élégance et la modernité. Du noir des moines et des pirates au noir des peintres et des couturiers, Michel Pastoureau retrace la destinée européenne et la symbolique ambivalente de cette couleur pas comme les autres. Avec clarté et précision, il s'attache à cerner sa place dans les faits de langue, les pratiques sociales (teintures, vêtements, vie quotidienne), la création artistique et le monde des symboles. Couleur à part entière jusqu'à ce que l'invention de l'imprimerie puis les découvertes de Newton lui donnent un statut particulier, au point de devenir une non-couleur, le noir dévoile ici une histoire culturelle extrêmement riche, depuis les mythologies des origines jusqu'à son triomphe, dans tous les domaines, au XXe siècle.

"Blue has had a long and topsy-turvy history in the Western world. Once considered a hot color, it is now icy cool. The ancient Greeks scorned it as ugly and barbaric, but most Americans and Europeans now pick it as their favorite color. In this history, the renowned medievalist Michel Pastoureau traces the changing meanings of blue from its rare appearances in prehistoric art to its international ubiquity today in blue jeans and Gauloises cigarette packs." "Pastoureau investigates how the ever-changing role of blue in society has been reflected in manuscripts, stained glass, heraldry, clothing, paintings, and popular culture. Beginning with the almost total absence of blue from ancient Western art and language, the story moves to medieval Europe. As people began to associate blue with the Virgin Mary, the color became a powerful element in church decoration and symbolism, despite the resistance of chromophobic prelates. Blue gained new favor as a royal color in the twelfth century and became a formidable political and military force through the French Revolution. As blue triumphed in the modern era, new shades were created and blue became the color of romance, the Romantics, and the blues. Finally, Pastoureau follows blue into contemporary times, when military clothing gave way to the everyday uniform of blue jeans and blue became the universal and unifying color of the Earth as seen from space." "With an elegant design and illustrated with nearly one hundred color plates, Blue tells the history of our favorite color and the cultures that have hated it, loved it, and created great art with it."--Jacket.
