From the "perfect white" to the "white body", from the color of snow or lily,
to the brilliance of the "white weapon", of diamonds and crystal ...,
white hesitates between the absence or the sum of all the colors,
brightness or pallor, opacity and transparency,
and moves away or approaches its etymological origin (blank: "brilliant").By multiplying symbolic associations, white turns out to be absolute,
ideal, light and matter, hygiene of the body and purity of the soul,
neutrality, peace, but also void and silence,
free space of all possibilities! It testifies to an obsessive quest for whiteness
which is still that of our contemporary society.Linguist at the CNRS Annie Mollard-Desfour has notably collaborated
on the drafting of the Trésor de la Langue Française.
The publications of the first volumes of the dictionary devoted to colors,
Le Bleu, Le Rouge, Le Rose and Le Noir, have made her
the recognized specialist in the contemporary French color lexicon.
She is president of the French Color Center.

Bibliography:
E. BENEZIT,
"Et "Blanc" sort. Blanc absolu. Blanc par-dessus toute blancheur. Blanc de l'avènement du blanc. Blanc sans compromis, par exclusion, par totale éradication du non-blanc. Blanc fou, exaspéré, criant de blancheur. Fanatique, furieux, cribleur de rétine. Blanc électrique, atroce, implacable, assassin. Blanc à rafales de blanc. Dieu du "blanc". (...) Je sens que le blanc va longtemps garder pour moi quelque chose d'outrancier."(H. Michaux, "Avec la mescaline", "Misérable miracle", 1956, L'Espace du dedans, 1966, p. 347). "Le blanc est inaccessible, il se révèle, mais est hors d'atteinte. Blanc. Cette extrême ligne encore présente, courageuse, dans l'immense silence de cet infini secret blanc, banquise à foison et encore plus soleil de nuit, et de jours. Le blanc a la limite du silence dans un infime."(O. Merijon, "Réflexions sur les Whites", 2007). | Le Blanc is the fifth volume in Annie Mollard-Desfour's series of dictionaries devoted to words and expressions of color
from the 20th century and the very contemporary period. After the fields of blue (Le Bleu), red (Le Rouge),
pink (Le Rose) and black (Le Noir), he leads us, according to words and expressions, in this "color" to l 'apparent uniformity,
with multiple meanings and associations, between absence or sum of all colors: ideal white, perhaps inaccessible,
white direct access to light, to the essential and to the truth, white of emptiness and nothingness, source of anguish and terror.
To grasp the elusive nature of white, to pierce its silence ...
Such is the aim of this dictionary which lists words and expressions of white through the texts of the twentieth century
and the twenty-first century beginning (from poetry to slang, novels and songs in press articles), defines its nuances,
identifies its various uses, associations, connotations and figurative meanings.

White Spirits and les White are the titles given by their author, Olivier MERIJON, contemporary painter, to series of white canvases which, in a multitude of rhythms, paths, lines, breaks, reliefs, curves and obliques , capture, retain or return the light of white.
