Winter
presents great opportunities to
photograph babies crying for their
mothers,
mothers interacting with their pups, males challenging and fighting with one another, and the commotion
of all
of the activities happening at once.
In this substantial volume, the works
of the infamous mid-century French visionary artist, Yves Klein — famed for having been
photographed jumping off a wall, «into the void,» with his arms outstretched as he moved rapidly towards the pavement, as well as for having claimed and patented his very own shade
of the color blue — are
presented alongside paintings by the artist whose work influenced him most profoundly: his
mother, the bold abstract painter Marie Raymond (1908 - 1972).
