Abstract

From his beginning, the grey color has been considered the color of the theory and the sadness, and even the “dead color” of the painting. However, sometimes the grey color turns out to be knotted to the body as an image of the sense of touch. Placed in this contradiction, we propose to approach the grey as phenomenon of gestation of the modern art.
