Yves Klein Painted Everything Blue and Wasn't Sorry.

A clever, quirky read-aloud biography of a leading modern artist, for kids

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
Artist Yves Klein always thought about how he could surprise his audience. One day, he decided that he would only paint in one colour - blue. He painted canvases, globes, branches, gallery floors, and even covered people in blue paint. Klein's story is told here with wit and eccentricity, perfectly paired with black-line illustrations and blue

splashes galore. Fausto Gilberti brings movement, life, and whimsy to the true life story of one of the most important modern French artists of our time.
