The artwork titled “Le Rose du bleu (RE 22)” was created by the artist Yves Klein in 1960. It employs sponge as its medium and is part of the Nouveau Réalisme art movement, falling under the abstract genre.
The artwork features an arrangement of sponges and a textured surface, all unified under a monochrome pink hue. The sponges are dispersed across the composition, creating a dynamic visual rhythm. The tactile quality of the sponges contrasts with the uniform coloration, emphasizing the exploration of texture and form, characteristic of Klein’s innovative approach to art. The vibrant pink color saturates the entire piece, providing a striking visual impact and inviting contemplation of the material and the color’s emotional and physical presence.
