Near Fine in Very Good jacket. Text in English. 252 pp. 248 illustrations, including 61 plates in full color. Minor wear to dust jacket. "I have gone beyond the problem of art. For me painting today no longer relates to the eye; it it relates to the only thing in us that does not belong to us: our LIVES." With this statement by Yves Klein, reflecting his passionate commitment to the transformation of modern consciousness, Pierre Restany begins his witness to one of the most extraordinary careers in postwar art. His text for the first time fully documents the artist's life and work. During his brief life (1928-1962), Klein as-tonished critics and public alike with his rad. ical inventiveness and visionary force. His first exhibition of monochrome paintings, held in Paris in 1955, went almost unnoticed, but he then created a furor with his International Klein Blue monochromes, Theater of the Void, and Anthropometries (paintings sing the impressions of living nude models covered with paint). Other forays into the outer reaches of art and awareness of the environment resulted in Cosmogonies (shaped by wind, rain, and other natural phenomena), the architecture of air, fire paintings, planetary reliefs, and life casts. "My paintings are the ashes of my art, " Klein wrote. For him they were materializations of cosmic energy secondary to the larger ideas that inspired his imagination ideas rooted in Oriental philosophy, Rosi-crucian mysticism, and esoteric Christian spiritualism. His supreme ambition, the final goal of his method, was to sensitize the whole planet, to return to the state of nature in a technological Eden. "He was a painter, '' writes Restany, "but also infinitely more: a believer living his own sense of the divine, and a mutant responsible in the highest degree for the future of his vision." Pierre Restany, an internationally respect-ed critic of avant-garde art-the author, among other books, of Abrams' César-recognized Klein's importance early on and was a close friend and a participant in many of the artist's activities.
