克萊因的藍色獲得了一個專門說法,叫做International Klein blue,簡稱IKB
1957年,法國人伊夫·克萊因(YvesKlein)在米蘭舉行畫展,展廳里懸掛著八副同樣大小的畫板,上面塗滿了群青色,從此,這種色彩被正式命名為"國際克萊因藍"(InternationalKleinBlue)。
英文解釋
In 1947, Klein began making monochrome paintings, which he associated with freedom from ideas of representation or personal expression. A decade later, he developed his trademark, patented colour, International Klein Blue (IKB). This colour, he believed, had a quality close to pure space, and he associated it with immaterial values beyond what can be seen or touched. He described it as ‘a Blue in itself, disengaged from all functional justification’. Klein made around 200 monochrome paintings using IKB. He did not give titles to these works but, after his death, his widow assigned a number to each one
