The Sun Will Forever Keep Rising
Yves Klein. Ex Voto to Saint Rita of Cascia. 1961.
I love this one. It’s a tiny, plexiglass box filled with Klein’s favorite materials. The International Klein Blue (IKB) in the center is obviously his signature color that dominates most of his work. But the rose on the left and gold on the right are the other two materials that he prizes most. I love the fact that he uses the pure pigment, because the color is so rich and entrancing. And the gold leaf is also really interesting in texture. The three colors together represent a kind of trinity for Klein—the epitome of his spiritual beliefs (which I won’t get into here). Anyway, I do really love the preciousness of objects like these, and I’m fascinated by spirituality, so for me this is a success.

i had to delete it and start over because i changed my topic (slightly) and i needed to make an actual account for it, not just a sub-blog from my personal account.
for those who don’t know:
for one of my classes i have to run a tumblr page dedicated to one subject. being the art history buff that i am, i chose to blog about keith haring, andy warhol, and jean-michel basquiat, because they are my favorite artists. throughout the semester (now until december) i will be updating this tumblr on the regular. if people seem interested, i’ll keep it going even after the class is over! but seriously, this is literally my work for the semester…no tests, no quizzes, just tumblr.
it’s going to be pretty awesome. follow!
