The Colours of Our Memories by Michel Pastoureau Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description * Michel Pastoureau is a very accomplished French historian who is well known for his books on colour. * This new book is a more personal reflection on the colour of our memories - that is, the way that our memories of the past are infused with colour, and the way that we remember colours. Publisher Description What remains of the colours of our childhood? What are our memories of a blue rabbit, a red dress, a yellow bike and were they really those colours? What colours do we associate with our student years, our first loves, our adult lives? How does colour leave its mark on memory? In an attempt to answer these and other questions, Michel Pastoureau presents us with a journal about colours that covers half a century. Drawing on personal recollections, he retraces the recent history of colours through an exploration of fashion and clothing, everyday objects and practices, emblems and flags, sport, literature, museums and art. This text playful, poetic, nostalgic records the life of both the author and his contemporaries. We live in a world increasingly bursting with colour, in which colour remains a focus for memory, a source of delight and, most of all, an invitation to dream.
