«Green: The History of a Color» is an illustrated essay by Michel Pastoureau, published by Princeton University Press in hardback, with 240 pages in English.
The book traces the social, artistic and symbolic history of green in European societies, from prehistory to the present day. It examines its presence in art, clothing, literature, religion, science and everyday life. It explains its ambivalence as a symbol of life, luck and hope, but also of poison, instability and disorder, and its later association with nature and ecology.
This English edition was published in 2014 and is part of «The History of a Color». The original work, «Vert. Histoire d'une couleur», appeared in French in 2013.
For readers interested in cultural history, art and the symbolism of colours.
