What remains of the colors of our childhood? How does color fit into the field of memory? How is it able to stimulate or transform it? In an attempt to answer these questions, Michel Pastoureau offers us a chromatic journal spanning more than half a century (1950-2010). Personal memories, notes taken on the spot, unbridled remarks, scholarly digressions, this book focuses on the different areas where color intervenes: vocabulary and linguistic facts, fashion and clothing, objects and practices of daily life, emblems and flags, the world of sport, art and literature. By turns playful, poetic or nostalgic, this journal underlines how color is a place of memory, a source of pleasure and even more an invitation to dream.
