Reviews

""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 ""A lively, informative investigation of the social, lexical, artistic, and symbolic meanings of pink. . . . An entertaining, beautifully produced volume."" * Kirkus Reviews * ""Pastoureau’s thoroughly researched, wide-ranging book deserves a spot in all art libraries."" * Library Journal * ""[A] tour de force.""---Jeannette Cooperman, The Common Reader ""For a seasonally apposite romp through European social history, look no further than Pink.""---Suzanna Murawski, New Criterion
