Verified profile

Klein created several monochrome paintings to focus on a single color, a particular point of blue. He wanted to obtain a saturated and bright color, without any alteration, that was extra-dimensional and able to represent all the primary elements of the universe, in particular the opposition of water and fire. Klein sought a solvent capable of fixing the pure powder pigment to the support and patented the ultramarine dye under the name of International Blue Klein. From 1959 he went from monochrome to the use of a trilogy of colors consisting of blue, gold and magenta. These three shades have a strong symbolic charge that allows the work to be an echo of the immaterial, to make the invisible visible: the artistic product is closely linked to reality and nature, but at the same time is endowed with the spirituality necessary to intuit the evanescent and immortal beyond. In keeping with the Nouveau Réalisme movement, of which the artist himself is one of the founders, in 1960 Klein elaborated a new form of appropriation of contemporary reality that found results in his art with the creation of plastic works. Portrait Relief of Arman and Portrait Relief of Claude Pascal are placed in this period of turning point and completeness of his artistic career. Both portraits of his friends and associates evoke images of religious plastic icons: from representations of Christ, saints and martyrs, to funerary monuments deriving from classical and Roman art.
