Overcoming the Problematics of Art. The Writings of Yves Klein
This is the first complete collection of the writings of the visionary French conceptual artist Yves Klein to be published in English translation. Klein was an artist with a keen philosophical mind, yet deeply spiritual. Inspired by his study of the Japanese Kata (the abstract movements in Judo), Rosicrucian cosmogony, alchemy, and the phenomenological and psychological philosophies that emerged during his lifetime, he constructed his vision of a future art that would purify the soul and society from the ashes of painting.
