Scarlet or carmine, purple or vermilion... Endowed with infinite shades and derived from pigments that were primarily mineral, vegetable and animal, red immediately found material for its use among painters: if it is the color of power and wealth, it is also that of sensuality and celebration; and if it remains inseparable from life and blood, it is also inseparable from fire and hell.
From Van Eyck to Nicolas de Staël, from Bruegel to Kandinsky and from Caravaggio to Monet, here is a history of Western painting revisited... in red!

The original form of this box set allows you to delve into the heart of painting to discover the role of the color red in the creation of artists. Accompanied by an explanatory booklet including an introduction and commentaries on works, this "accordion-style" book, all in images, displays more than fifty works, in sets, in details, in close-ups.
