Anthropometries

by Yves Klein
Label: Yves Klein

Year: 1960

To really understand the artwork of Yves Klein, you should really have witnessed how they were created. The film of the realisation of Antropometries in the blue period is art in itself. Musicians are playing in the background, while naked young women cover themselves in blue paint and press their bodies against the canvas. The print of the paint on their bodies is, ultimately, the art. In addition, the naked models drag each other over the canvas on the floor, overseen by the audience. The devotees find the prints more attractive than the naked women, who have created the pieces of art.
