French painter Yves Klein (1928\u20141962) stands as one of the most exciting artists of the 20th century. A founding member of the New Realism movement in France, he was also a pioneer in Performance Art and installations, as well as a forerunner of Body Art, Land Art, and Conceptual Art. During the course of his meteoric eight-year career, Klein expressed his vision through a wide range of media, including pure color (notably a deep, bright blue now known as Yves Klein Blue), architecture, sculpture, literature, and music. This book looks afresh at Klein\u2019s career, and especially his works that involve fire.
\nKlein\u2019s art aimed to change a person\u2019s life by triggering a profound revolution in the viewer\u2019s aesthetic sensibility. He was deeply convinced that color, the impalpable, and the imagination together are capable of transfiguring reality and affecting a change in personal values: born anew, viewers find themselves awed by a world that is in turn recreated. In his works, Klein used fire which both destroys and reveals to represent the impalpable.
\nYves Klein\u2019s \u201cwonderful realism\u201d attempted to usher in a new age: the age of a happy and fulfilled humankind in the here and now. Each of the works presented in this stunning book, which includes paintings, performances, and works in other media, including his \u201cmur de feu<\/em>\u201d or \u201cwall of fire,\u201d is a token of the intimate experience of this possibility.<\/p>\n
