monochrome blue - Yves Klein (1928-1962)
The first time I saw this painting I was shocked.
Is this art???
How one color's canvas can be an exhibit in a Museum???
Absence of creativy was my first feeling. Nothing to think about, just coloring a canvas with blue.
Just one uniform color...Blue- special blue I agreed, but who can decide this hue is so particular.
This could be the most representative of 'non representative art".
One time I read , "this monochrome is an open window to freedom", dixit Klee.
So after this information, when I went in MONA I could dream about sea and sky in front of this painting and went throught this color. The explanation helps me look differently at this painting.
Blue is a really abstract color because sky and sea are the most abstract thing in the natural word.

I know that Klee worked with a chemist to create this blue called today International Klein Blue as a brand IKB. This is a really abstract and the color is bright and intensive because of the pure pigment used to make it.
I think such painting are made only for us to think and wander, a gate to the dream
