Yves Klein was a very unique French artist. He invented his own shade of blue and famously produced many paintings that look identical, but are they? He experimented with painting with fire, wind, bodies, and creating art with sound, silence and empty space. He was very inspirational and creative. Gilberti illustrated the entire picture book in blue, black and white, and I hope it's IKB blue.
There are a couple of images that may be considered a tad rude and are sure to cause some giggles with the younger crowd. I love picture book biographies, and Gilberti has told a great story and included a longer author's note about Yves Klein.
