Black is a uniquely powerful,mysterious,and seductive color.the little black dress attributed to coco chanel plays only a very small part in the history of fashionable black.to understand why “that special black dress…is both chic and armor,” we need to go much deeper into the history and symbolism of black.
“Deep,deep-further than politics,than sex or infantile terrors… a plunge into the nuclear blackness….Black runs all through the transcript:the recurring color black.” Among other things,Thomas Pynchon’s novel Gravity’s Rainbow is a brilliant meditation on the color black:from Domina Nocturna in her “black uniform-of-the-night” to a soldier’s memory of the enemy Schwartzkommando,which triggers a sequence of “schwartz-” words:“Blackwoman,Blackrocket,Blackdream….”
The black of fascism,like the black fag of anarchy,evokes the image of total destruction.At the same time,black clothing can be perversely erotic.Long identifed as the color of mourning,especially in the West,black has become the color of elegance and luxury.
Throughout human history,black has been associated with night and,by extension,death and nothingness.Nor is this simply the result of racism,since traditional African symbolism makes precisely the same association.Night is black,just as blood is red.
Before the invention of electricity,nights were much darker and more dangerous than they are today.At night the animals come out,and so do human predators,like the proverbial thief in the night.In Les Misérables,the persecuted hero Jean Valjean says,“Obscurity is vertiginous.… When the eye sees black,the spirit sees trouble.… In the night,even the strong feel anxious.”
Since antiquity,black has often been associated with evil.The Bible makes many negative references to black,which is linked to sin,death,evil,the devil,and mourning.Yet black has also long carried positive,“respectable” connotations of temperance,humility,and asceticism.Black can be both pious and perverse.
“There is a good black and a bad black,” writes Michel Pastoureau,the greatest modern historian of color.In the past,there was a clear distinction between good,brilliant black (in Latin,niger,from which comes the French,noir) and bad,matte black (in Latin,ater,which was associated with black bile).According to Pastoureau,this distinction still exists in Africa,where shiny black skin is regarded as beautiful,while ashy,matte black is perceived as unhealthy and corpselike.Still,overall,black carries primarily negative connotations.
