Yves Klein, Blue Monochrome, 1960                                   Yves Klein self portrait

"What is blue? Blue is the invisible becoming visible… Blue has no dimensions. 

It “is” beyond the dimensions of which other colours partake”.

Yves Klein

Yves Klein, Globe terrestre bleu (RP 5), 1961

Day is blue 
silence is green 
life is yellow 
light traces lines,
and never ends,
and I trail behind
transpierced by indifference!

Yves Klein, 1952

"Blue suggests the sea and sky, and they, after all, are in actual, visible nature what is most abstract."
