richly illustrated homage to the color, artist Kaye Blegvad explores its
significance across history and cultures, from gender connotations to product
marketing, symbols and iconography, and more. Through engaging mini essays,
interactive exercises, object studies, and interviews, readers will learn about
a vibrant miscellany of pink facts and pink occurrences: like iconic
applications of the color, from Elvis's cars to cotton candy; or the etymology
of phrases like "tickled pink," "pink slip," or "rose-tinted glasses." Presented
in an eye-catching pink package with vibrant page edges, this collection will
captivate those with a passion for pink and anyone with a curiosity about
color.
