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 Taschen’s Basic Art series features a detailed chronological summary of the artist’s life and works, their cultural influence and historical significance, a concise biography and approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions.Author: Hannah WeitemeierHardcover21 x 26 cm (8.3 x 10.2 in)96 pagesISBN 9783836553131
