Earth, water, air and fire are essential sources of Yves Klein's work. For the first time, this book brings them together in a new reading of his work where Cosmogonies, Fires, Color Fires, Planetary Reliefs, Architecture of the Air and immaterial works intersect. This new approach is based on the analysis of Klaus Ottmann, a specialist in the work of Yves Klein, who reconsiders Yves Klein's approach in the light of his conception of the world and ancient philosophies on the notion of nature and the cosmos. For Yves Klein, color is the revealer of natural elements. A rich historical documentation supplemented by numerous texts by Yves Klein runs through the book. This publication is an opportunity to rediscover, through a transversal and thematic vision, the work of Yves Klein, who appears today as one of the precursors of Land art, Arte Povera and Conceptual art. This book accompanies the exhibition Yves Klein, the elements and the colors, presented at the Domaine des étangs in Massignac from May to November 2020.
