Manet - Klein

Yves Klein : Traces de l'époque bleue " Anthropométrie de l'époque bleue " (1960), Musée national d'art moderne, Centre Georges-Pompidou, Paris .The blue period, blue traces, blue sponges... Yves Klein certainly deserved his nickname of "Yves the monochrome." Eventhough he used other colors, blue was his favorite, and, more than a means of expression, blue became a source of spiritual energy. This programme in the Palette series explores his universe, the use of the blue color, the use of differing and original techniques (Klein used, for example, his models as actual "living" brushes!). The "Anthropométries" are a meditation on the imprint, the trace left, the disappearance and different variations on the theme of incarnation
