A clever, idiosyncratic biography of a leading contemporary artist, for children
The artist Yves Klein always thought about how he could surprise his audience. One day, he decided that he would paint only in one color - blue. He painted canvases, spheres, branches, gallery floors, and even covered people in blue paint.
Klein's story is told here with wit and eccentricity, combined with black illustrations and abundant blue splashes. Fausto Gilberti brings movement, life, and whimsy to the true life story of one of the most important contemporary French artists of our time.
