“A Minute’s Blue Fire Painting” is an abstract work by the artist Yves Klein, created in 1957. It belongs to the Nouveau Réalisme art movement and measures 110 by 74.8 centimeters.
The artwork is characterized by its vibrant and intense use of the color blue, with sporadic white marks and bursts that give it a dynamic, almost ethereal quality. Klein, known for his pioneering use of the vivid International Klein Blue (IKB), employs this signature hue to evoke a sense of vastness and depth. The monochromatic blue canvas is punctuated by these contrasting white marks, which seem to dance across the surface, adding a sense of movement and energy. The simplicity yet profound depth of the work exemplifies Klein’s unique approach to abstract art, making it a notable piece within the Nouveau Réalisme movement.
