One day, he asked me if I could help him find the recipe for a luminous, velvety blue paint, and above all, one with a lasting appearance. He had tried everything to bind the ultramarine blue 1311 pigment he bought from me: hide glue, linseed oil, casein... without achieving the desired effect. Yves Klein has all the qualities of a character in a novel. A fourth-dan black belt in judo, trained in Japan, he became a major painter in the 1950s in Paris, when artistic life seemed impossible and daring. He met the greatest: Arman, César, and Tinguely. He definitively reinvented blue with ultramarine 1311, the now famous Klein blue. This is the story that Teodoro Gilabert tells us, based on real events and invented testimonies, beautiful real and presumed lovers, in New York, Tokyo, Milan, and Paris. Everything in this novel is removed and life becomes literature again.
