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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Ltd, International Academic Publis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47584211894423,"sku":"9783039114153","price":5722.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783039114153.webp?v=1774954908","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/local-colour-a-travelling-concept-9783039114153","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
