《粉紅藝術史：從波提且利到歐姬芙》Pink: From Botticelli to O'Keefe
粉紅色不只是甜美與浪漫，也能象徵神聖、慾望、奢華與反叛。

從薩塞塔筆下的文藝復興聖徒、布雪的田園幻景，到喬治亞・歐姬芙如夢似幻的花卉，以及克里斯多與珍妮－克勞德色彩飽和的島嶼，本書跨越不同文化與世紀，探索粉紅色如何從純真、柔美與輕浮的象徵，逐漸成為藝術家表現曖昧、戲謔與顛覆的有力媒介。

在葛雷柯與蓬托莫的宗教畫中，粉紅色象徵神聖的謙卑；在福拉歌納爾的調情場景與布雪的精緻人物中，它傳達奢華、感官享受與欲望；到了現代與當代藝術，保羅・席涅克、喬治亞・歐姬芙與村上隆則將粉紅色化為更大膽而激進的視覺語言。

全書以四十件粉紅色具有關鍵意義的藝術作品為核心，依年代大致編排。每篇皆以全頁圖像搭配精要賞析，解析藝術家如何透過顏料，以及衣著、光線與肌膚中的粉紅色，塑造作品的情緒與意義。書中另收錄時間軸、地圖及文化專欄，並以圖表呈現歷史上充滿詩意的粉紅色名稱，展現這種色彩細膩而驚人的表現幅度。

《Pink》以豐富圖像與出人意料的藝術連結，邀請讀者重新凝視一種經常被低估的顏色，看見它如何數百年來照亮、掩飾並改變藝術作品。

Pink: From Botticelli to O'Keefe

Discover how the color pink evolved from a symbol of innocence and frivolity to a powerful vehicle for artistic play, ambiguity, and subversion.

Long associated with delicacy and sentiment, pink has also been used to express grandeur, sensuality, irony, and rebellion. This richly illustrated volume explores how the meaning and function of pink have changed across cultures and centuries— from Sassetta’s Renaissance saints and Boucher’s idyllic visions to the dreamlike florals of O’Keeffe and the saturated islands of Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
Readers will encounter pink as a mark of divine humility in religious paintings by El Greco and Pontormo; as a signal of luxury and desire in the flirtatious scenes of Fragonard and the refined elegance of Boucher; and as a radical material in modern and contemporary works by Paul Signac, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Takashi Murakami. The book is organized around forty artworks that each feature pink in a striking or significant way.
Arranged loosely in chronological order, each entry pairs a full-page image with a short, insightful essay that reveals how artists used pink—through pigment, and depictions of clothing, light, and flesh—to shape meaning and mood. Throughout, timelines, maps, and sidebars offer cultural context and historical depth, including a vivid chart of historically and poetically named pinks—from cuisse de nymphe and rose bonbon to vieux rose and rose vineux—that reflect the color’s remarkable expressive range.
Visually layered and full of unexpected connections, Pink invites readers to look again at a color too often dismissed—and to see how it has illuminated, disguised, and transformed works of art for centuries.
