His photos have appeared in magazines all over the world, includingVogue magazine. In addition to photography, he has also directed several films, documentaries, and dozens of commercials. Even though he has made art in a variety of different mediums, he is well-known for his ironic concepts, which appear in nearly all of his work.

« If I look back, I think most of the things I did - the films, the books, the collaborations with these magazines -
were mostly by accident. »
William Klein

He has notoriously rejected the conventional rules in art, especially in photography. As a result, his work often displays photos taken in natural light with wide-angle lenses, along with blurred motion. Thanks his vast work and his innovation in the world of photography and films, he continues to be one of the leading artists in modern times.

What is abstract art?

Abstract art uses visual language of form, shape, line and color to achieve its desired effect. However, it does not attempt or seek to represent external reality but the created abstract art composition may exist with a level or degree of independence from the world's visual references.
