The works of this \"Blue Revolution\" seem to draw us into another dimension, as if hypnotized by a perfect summer sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKlein was also renowned for his deployment of \"living brushes,\" in which naked women, daubed in International Klein Blue, would make imprints of their bodies on large sheets of paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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 colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47601478369516,"sku":"9783836553131","price":45.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783836553131-yves-klein.jpg?v=1778001325"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/hannah-weitemeier.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
