This article revisits an obscure episode in the early history of colour photography, the collaboration between poet and inventor Charles Cros and painter Édouard Manet. I consider the genesis of a colour photographic copy of Manet’s Jeanne (Le Printemps) painting of 1882, a work featured in the recent exhibition Manet and Modern Beauty. I argue that more can be said about the intermedial layers of this experiment from a social, historical and theoretical perspective. Based on letters previously unexamined in the scholarship, I provide additional historical context about the experiment and reveal that it was not a one-off whim of the inventor, but rather a project that involved Jules Carpentier, the engineer who, among other achievements, would go on to collaborate with the Lumière brothers in building their cinématographe camera. Finally, I consider more closely the sentiments expressed by Cros in a letter to Manet about the experiment, sentiments that, I argue, help open onto broader questions about the progress of chemistry at that historical moment. I conclude with a theoretical question about the incunabula of new technologies and their connections to an ‘environmental unconscious’.

媒体环境:马奈、克罗斯和春天的色彩
这篇文章重温了彩色摄影早期历史上的一个不起眼的插曲,诗人兼发明家查尔斯·克罗斯与画家爱德华·马奈之间的合作。我考虑了马奈 1882 年《让娜》(巴黎春天百货)绘画彩色摄影副本的起源,这是最近举办的马奈与现代美展览的特色作品。我认为,可以从社会、历史和理论的角度对这个实验的中间层进行更多讨论。根据之前奖学金中未审查的信件,我提供了有关该实验的其他历史背景,并表明这不是发明家的一时心血来潮,而是一个涉及工程师 Jules Carpentier 的项目,除了其他成就外,继续与 Lumière 兄弟合作制造他们的电影摄影机。最后,我更仔细地考虑了克罗斯在给马奈的一封信中表达的关于实验的情绪,我认为这些情绪有助于打开关于那个历史时刻化学进展的更广泛的问题。我以一个关于新技术的萌芽及其与“环境无意识”的联系的理论问题结束。
