Reviews
A lively, informative investigation of the social, lexical, artistic, and symbolic meanings of pink. . . . An entertaining, beautifully produced volume., " Pink is as sumptuous as its predecessors, printed on gorgeous glossy paper and written with impassioned scholarship. . . . Anybody interested in the history of material cultures, painting, fashion, textiles and colour can hardly fail to be as delighted." ---Norma Clarke, Literary Review, "A testament to the micro details of art and science, function and aesthetics melding together. Pastoureau's text is spirited and filled with ideas. . . . After reading Pink: The History of a Color, I will never look at swatches the same way." ---Steven Heller, Print Magazine, "For a seasonally apposite romp through European social history, look no further than Pink ." ---Suzanna Murawski, New Criterion, "Pastoureau has a knack for selecting illuminating moments in the hue's history." ---Kassia St Clair, BBC History Magazine., "Over the past 25 years, Michel Pastoureau . . . has published volumes on blue, black, green, red, yellow and white. 'Pink' is the icing on this color layer cake." ---Anne Higonnet, Wall Street Journal

Synopsis
From the acclaimed author of Blue and other color histories, the beautifully illustrated story of pink, from the first ancient pigments to Barbie Pink has such powerful associations today that it's hard to imagine the color could ever have meant anything different. But it's only since the introduction of the Barbie doll in 1959 that pink has become decisively feminized. Indeed, in the eighteenth century, pink was frequently masculine, and the color has signified many things beyond gender over the course of its long history--from the prim to the vulgar, and from the romantic to the eccentric. In this richly illustrated book, Michel Pastoureau, a celebrated authority on the history of colors, presents a fascinating visual, social, and cultural history of pink in the West, from antiquity to today. Pink pigments first appear in ancient Macedonian paintings, but it was not until the eighteenth century that vivid, saturated pinks were developed for dyeing and painting. At the same time, a popular new flower--the pink rose--finally gave the color a standard name, and pink, assuming a place in everyday life, began to acquire its own symbolism, distinct from that of red, yellow, or white. Bringing the story up to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Pink describes how the color, both adored and detested, became associated with many other things, from softness and pleasure to nudity and sex. Illustrated throughout with a wealth of captivating images, Pink is an entertaining and enlightening account of the evolving role and significance of the color in art, fashion, literature, religion, science, and everyday life across the millennia.
