Although the expression itself is nowadays used in everyday speech in both French and English, its ‘domestication’ only further highlights the need for a clarifying study of this concept, which has come to be crucial in aesthetic debates. From the seventeenth-century rift between ‘Poussinistes’ and ‘Rubénistes’, to the genesis of Romanticist aesthetic theories in early nineteenth-century France, to the North American regionalist prose of the \u003ci\u003eLocal colour movement\u003c\/i\u003e; from Roger de Piles, to Benjamin Constant, Victor Hugo, Prosper Mérimée, and Hamlin Garland, this book sets out to map for the first time \u003ci\u003ecouleur locale\u003c\/i\u003e’s three-hundred-year journey across centuries, languages and genres. In addition to proposing a genealogy of the concept and the paths of its semantic evolution, it also initiates a reflection on the factors that could have prompted the mobility of the term across cultures, art forms and their metalanguages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: A Pictorial Term Gone Astray? – The Rise and Fall of \u003ci\u003eCouleur Locale\u003c\/i\u003e – The Transatlantic Journey.","brand":"Verlag Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043735077207,"sku":"9783039114153","price":46.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783039114153.jpg?v=1750959280","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/local-colour-a-travelling-concept-9783039114153","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
