Description

Brace yourself for the blues! Declaring that a new world calls for a new man, showman, inventor and artist Yves Klein made a name for himself with his large monochromatic canvases, International Klein Blue shade of colour, and living paintbrushes – in which naked women, daubed in paint, made imprints of their bodies on large sheets of paper.

Each of the books published in Taschens Basic Art series features a detailed chronological summary of the artists life and works, their cultural influence and historical significance, a concise biography and approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions.
