Yves Klein’s used his art to transmit his beliefs in what he thought of as the immateriality of man and the concept of the void. He thought of immateriality as the sensibility of man that was beyond the physical limits of the world. This could be represented by absolute pure color and in the concept of space. This is connected to the notion of “the void” or a territory of candor and freedom, a sort invisible protective zone. Though the principles of immateriality and the void can be seen in most facets of his work, Klein’s monochrome paintings, his sponge reliefs, and his retrospective work most readily show his preoccupation with spiritual beliefs in his art. Above is my project, which consists of my paper, with I tried to rework to show the concepts which were so important to the work of Klein. The rectangles in the middle are to represent Klein's views of the immateriality and the concept of the void, and the words of the paper that are spiraling around the rectangles are to represent the materiality and chaos of the world around us.
