Description

100 000 ans de beaute explores humanity's obsessive pursuit of beauty across more than one hundred thousand years of history. This comprehensive reference examines how the human body serves as the primary medium for expressing beauty through body modification, aesthetic standards, colour applications, hairstyles, ornamentation, clothing and nudity. The book demonstrates how these diverse beauty practices form a universal language communicating cultural belonging, gender, historical period, age and social status. Despite the extraordinary variation in beauty gestures and ideologies across civilisations, the work reveals underlying psychological and social motivations that guide human embellishment throughout history. Published by GALLIMARD, this reference work combines historical research with cultural analysis to illuminate the timeless human fascination with beauty and self-presentation.
