Yves Klein - Leap into the Void (1960)

About the piece:

“Yves Klein (1928–1962) was a pioneer in the development of Performance art, and an inspiration to and forerunner of Minimal art and Pop art. Saut dans le vide (Leap into the Void) shows him jumping off a wall, arms outstretched, towards the pavement. Klein used the photograph as evidence of his ability to undertake unaided lunar travel, as part of a broadside denouncing NASA’s lunar expeditions as hubris and folly. The image was a photomontage in which the large tarpaulin Klein leaped onto was removed from the final image.”

Horse in the Sky

A new view shows the Horsehead Nebula in the context of its surroundings. The nebula resides in the constellation Orion, about 1300 light-years away, which makes up part of the vast Orion Molecular Cloud complex. The nebula appears to poke its horse’s head shape above the surrounding gas and dust at the top of this image, pointing towards the Flame Nebula. Intense radiation streaming away from newborn stars heats up the surrounding dust and gas (pink and white). To the left lie two other star formation sites, NGC 2068 and NGC 2071. Cool gas and dust networks weave throughout the scene as red and yellow filaments. Some of these may host newly forming low-mass stars.
