●内容简介——

BAFTA 提名的广播公司和艺术史学家詹姆斯福克斯的迷人色彩文化史

这本书的主题是人类与色彩的非凡关系。它由一系列跨越世界和历史的航行组成，揭示了我们周围所见色彩所蕴含的意义，以及这些色彩塑造了我们的文化和想象力的方式。它采用七种原色——黑色、红色、黄色、蓝色、白色、紫色和绿色——并根据视觉上的相似性或所有社会共有的基本属性揭示每种颜色背后的根本思想。

这本书追溯了这些意义，以展示它们如何变化和成倍增加，它们在我们的文化和历史中所扮演的角色，以及理解它们如何让我们看到艺术史上的许多里程碑——从青铜时代的金器到特纳、提香和伊夫克莱因——以一种新的方式。它通过故事展开，这些故事累积地讲述了另一个更大的故事：从存在之前的黑色虚无到我们的红血物种诞生的世界历史；镀金的众神在古代使世界活跃到构成大航海时代的蓝色地平线；启蒙运动的原始愿望，推动工业革命的技术色彩创新以及能体现我们现在面临的环境危机的颜色。

A beguiling cultural history of colour by the BAFTA nominated broadcaster and art historian James Fox

The 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.
