<p>What remains of the colours of our childhood? What are our memories of a blue rabbit, a red dress, a yellow bike ¿ and were they really those colours? What colours do we associate with our student years, our first loves, our adult lives? How does colour leave its mark on memory?</p><p>In an attempt to answer these and other questions, Michel Pastoureau presents us with a journal about colours that covers half a century. Drawing on personal recollections, he retraces the recent history of colours through an exploration of fashion and clothing, everyday objects and practices, emblems and flags, sport, literature, museums and art.</p><p>This text ¿ playful, poetic, nostalgic ¿ records the life of both the author and his contemporaries. We live in a world increasingly bursting with colour, in which colour remains a focus for memory, a source of delight and, most of all, an invitation to dream.</p>
