The relationship with color varies depending on historical periods and civilizations. According to Michel Pastoureau, color is, above all, a complex cultural construct. While it is primarily a sensation, the appearance offered to the eye and the multiple interactions of light with matter nonetheless define the general meaning of a color.
If we are aware of the considerable growth in work on color since the end of the 19th century, it seemed useful to us to enrich the state of research, by making known several recent works and reflections devoted to blues and greens, subjects of tireless study by Sandrine Pagès-Camagna to whose memory this work is dedicated.
It brings together a series of unpublished articles on blues and greens around their uses in art history, but also in nature, perceptions and multiple forms of expression of these so-called cold colors, as lights, representations, iconographic meaning, from Antiquity to today.
