Description
cm 30x25 pag. 208 ill. 211 a col. No nation on earth has one absolute, primordial symbol. The color red, however, has always been favored by all nations. Red, as a concept and word combination became both an audible and visual image in Russia, particlularly so at the start of the 20th century. Russians identified the color red with physical phenomena and actions. Color images crossed over into the realms of concrete objects (red carpet); the Russian word “krasny” lost its original meaning ‘beautiful’ and came to be applied purely to the color red, which in turn crossed over to geographical names (Krasnaya Polyana, Krasnoye Selo). People grew accustomed to the color red and it entered the public consciousness.
