Yves Klein - Post-War European Artist

Yves Klein is considered an important post war European artist.  Klein was a pioneer in the development of Performance art, and is seen as an inspiration to and as a forerunner of Minimal art, as well as Pop art. As we watched the video on him in class, I was really interested and inspired by his fire paintings.  The fact that some thought to use the way fire burns as an image in art itself was really fascinating.  I especially like the second and third piece of his fire paintings that I posted.
