Yves Klein

In the mid-Fifties, Yves Klein (1928–1962) declared that “a new world calls for a new man”. With his idiosyncratic style and huge charisma, this bold artist would go on to pursue a brief but bountiful career, producing more than a thousand paintings over seven years in an oeuvre now considered a mainstay of the postwar modernism.

Klein made his name above all with his large, monochrome canvases in his own, patented hue of blue. International Klein Blue (IKB), composed of pure pigment and binding medium, is at once rich and luminous, evocative and decorative, and was conceived by Klein as a means of evoking the immateriality and infinitude of the world. The works of this “Blue Revolution” seem to draw us into another dimension, as if hypnotized by a perfect summer sky.

A pioneer of daring painting techniques, Klein was also renowned for his deployment of “living paintbrushes”, in which naked women, daubed in International Klein Blue, would make imprints of their bodies on large sheets of paper. Often, these Anthropométries were staged as elaborate performances, complete with blue cocktails or Klein’s own Monotone Symphony.

This Basic Art introduction presents key Klein works to introduce an artist who was at once a showman, inventor, and pioneer of performance art. With page after page of the ever-alluring International Klein Blue, it is both an essential guide to a modern art master and a meditation on the unique effects of a single color.

Great!
Color: Black, Size: Large
I needed a blazer for a last second professional presentation and it looked great! my peers thought I rented this since the quality looked very good. I love the inner pocket and it fits pretty good! the color also goes very well with the rest of my clothes, it’s not shiny at all!

Runs small good quality
Bought for my husband to wear to an event however was to tight in the arms. He has bigger biceps so this is not for someone who works out. It does seem to be a nicely made jacket for the price though. The material was soft, not many wrinkles. A quick light steam would take them out. The color was spot on from what the photos showed and looked great with the vest we purchased from the company. Layering was no issue with its weight. As always, returns were easy. Thanks Amazon

good quality, value; watch the sizing
Color: Black, Size: Large
quality is good, especially for the the price. the built-in pocket square i like very much; it gives an automatic ''flare'' to the look and with no effort on your part. only thing iffy was the sizing. this item, like many entry-level blazers, are size-marked like a casual shirt in small, medium, large; not the typical 34, 36, etc. i wear large casual but smaller suit and because of the manufacturer's labeling went with large. result was that the jacket was too big. i didn't exchange it but probably could do size small (or actually try multiple sizes). i would buy again if i could find my proper size
