Summary:
Over the centuries our manipulation of the natural world has resulted in an explosion of synthetic dye production and application globally. To gain insight into the history of how folk practices have been lost and technical processes found, anthropologist and textile artist Lauren MacDonald explores a practice that is both ancient and wholly modern: coloring cloth. The pursuit of color has long spurred economic and social contest, and through this deeply researched volume we explore the stories that the materials used to dye cloth tell us about our complex relationship to nature, our troubling ideas about progress and our understanding of power and labor. In Pursuit of Color: From Fungi to Fossil Fuels: Uncovering the Origins of the World's Most Famous Dyes brings together historic techniques, archive photography, specimens and present-day events to tell the histories of some of the world’s most important dyestuffs.

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.

Aimez-vous le vert ? À cette question les réponses sont partagées. En Europe, une personne sur six environ a le vert pour couleur préférée ; mais il s’en trouve presque autant pour détester le vert, tant chez les hommes que chez les femmes. Le vert est une couleur ambivalente, sinon ambiguë : symbole de vie, de sève, de chance et d’espérance d’un côté, il est de l’autre associé au poison, au malheur, au Diable et à ses créatures. Le livre de Michel Pastoureau retrace la longue histoire sociale, artistique et symbolique du vert dans les sociétés européennes, de la Grèce antique jusqu’à nos jours. Il souligne combien cette couleur qui a longtemps été difficile à fabriquer, et plus encore à fixer, n’est pas seulement celle de la végétation, mais aussi et surtout celle du Destin. Chimiquement instable, le vert a symboliquement été associé à tout ce qui était instable : l’enfance, l’amour, la chance, le jeu, le hasard, l’argent.

The Luminous and the Grey explores the places where color comes into being and where it fades away, probing when it begins and when it ends both in the imagination and in the material world. David Batchelor draws on neuroscience, philosophy, novels, films, and artists’ writings—as well as his own experience as an artist working with color—to understand how we see and use colors. He considers the role of color in creation myths, industrial chemistry, and optics, and examines the particular forms of luminosity that saturate the modern city.

Summary:
How do architects use colour? Do they adopt a different strategy or starting point for every project? Do they gradually cultivate individual colour palettes, which develop alongside their body of built work? Architectural colour in the professional palette investigates, documents and analyses the work of a number of contemporary architects in order to respond to these questions and provide a clear reference of contemporary colour use. The book suggests a holistic approach to the integration of colour in architecture; through a series of thematic essays, the text explores and reveals underlying principles in colour design and application.
