10/19 Artist blog: Yves Klein




Using the monochrome colors, particularly the blue in which he created specifically for his work, and what he viewed as the “empty field”. His visual analogue was seen as the void itself. He through himself into the creation of a "monotone-silence symphony". He was on a quest for perfection and the absolute, the monotone and the monochrome. He refused to conform his monochrome paintings to havng at least one more color, this he quoted "I refuse to compare and bring together one element that is strong and other weaker ones in order to highlight them.... As soon as there are two colors involved, a battle is given; from permanent spectacle produced by the battle of the two colors in the psychological and emotional domain" 76, Long Live the Immaterial, Yves Klein.
Yves work is sensible, formless and in that way limitless.
