	The Formidable Blue Stamp of Yves Klein
		Klein was a purist, and his mastery of Judo and studies in Rosicrucianism were seemingly based on a quest for inner equilibrium.
		Klein's quest for a monochrome art led him to a particularly satisfying pigment, a personally mixed ultramarine that he was later to patent as International Klein Blue.
		Klein's childhood friend Arman relates that Iris Clert was a dealer unlike others of the time and that, "She introduced modern techniques for the presentation of art into a business that was more like antique dealing.

	AE160D Unit 7: Yves Klein
		Yves Klein, an artist and judo master, was born in Nice, France in 1928 and died from a heart attack at the age of 34 in 1962, in Paris, where he made his career.
		Legend has it that when Yves Klein was eighteen years old, he was sunbathing on the beach in Nice with his friends when they decided to divide up the world between them.
		Remarkably, although Klein's career as an artist lasted for only the last eight years of his life (1954-1962), he, like Duchamp before him, was able to change the concept of a work of art and art in general, as well as the concept of the exhibition of art and the role of the artist.

	International Klein Blue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		International Klein Blue (or IKB as it is known in art circles) was developed by French artist Yves Klein as part of his search for colors which best represented the concepts he wished to convey as an artist.
		Although Klein had worked with blue extensively in his earlier career, it was not until 1958 that he used it as the central component of a piece (the colour effectively becoming the art).
		IKB was developed by Klein and chemists to have the same color brightness and intensity as dry pigments, which it achieves by suspending dry pigment in a clear synthetic resin.

	The Story of Modern Art
		Klein believed that "Judo is, in effect, the discovery of the human body in a spiritual space." Klein was also drawn to eastern religions that envisioned the transformation of the world with static dimensions into an age of space and pure spirit.
		In creating his anthropometries, Klein used the human body as a "living paint brush." Bathing his models in his signature International Klein Blue paint, he directed them to press and drag their bodies across paper and canvas, leaving impressions of IKB paint.
		Yves Klein's use of his own body and model's bodies as "living paint brushes"; the process of creating the body impressions.

	KLEIN
		Yves Klein was born to bohemian parents in Nice.
		In a lecture at the Sorbonne in 1958 Klein's explanation for his monochrome paintings clearly took in much of the Rosicrucian's philosophy in the way the paintings showed no evidence of the human hand preferring to let the works affect the viewer almost subconsciously.
		In Klein's work one can draw comparisons to that of Marcel Duchamp but whereas Duchamp wished to challenge the notion of what actually constitutes a work of art, Klein's intention was one of pure sensationalism.

	Yves Klein at the MAK Center Art in America - Find Articles
		Klein's architectural foray, like much of his work, was inspired by the writings of Gaston Bachelard, the philosopher of space, matter and the immaterial, who died at age 77, the same year as Klein.
		The drawings illustrate Klein's scheme for a town with transparent dwellings whose walls are made of pressurized air and jets of water and fire.
		While Klein's proposals might be wildly impractical on a functional level, his vision has something in common with experiments by artists such as James Turrell and Olafur Eliasson, which often touch upon notions of immaterial architecture.

	MoMA.org \| The Collection \| Yves Klein. Blue Monochrome. 1961
		Klein likened monochrome painting to an "open window to freedom." He worked with a chemist to develop his own particular brand of blue.
		Made from pure color pigment and a binding medium, he called it "International Klein Blue." Klein adopted this hue as a means of evoking the immateriality and boundlessness that reflected his own peculiar utopian vision of the world.
		Keenly aware that pigment is a substance of the earth, Klein also devised methods to make paintings using the other three elements—air (in the form of wind), water (in the form of rain), and fire.

		Klein's table is similar to his "pure pigment" pieces of 1957 and 1961, which were the genesis.
		And since the pigment is loose, it does invite comparison to Klein's belief in pure space: the eye penetrates what seems to be a limitless depth.
		There are three Klein tables: one filled with Klein International Blue pigment, one with rose madder, and one containing 3000 sheets of gold leaf.

		And in Koblenz, Klein's "Monotone Symphony," a composition consisting of a single, prolonged note, was performed in the city museum as part of a program of French musical works.
		One of the aims of the exhibition, then, was to re-create several of Klein's most important gallery environments, such as his empty-gallery Void Room of 1958, so as to enable viewers to experience at its fullest the "heightened sensibility" to color and space that Klein meant all of his works to induce.
		There is also an unexpected variety of surface textures, even though Klein made a point of applying pigment not with a paint brush but with a commercial paint roller.

	Yves Klein \| MetaFilter
		Klein realized that pigments always tended to look richer and more gorgeous as a dry powder than when mixed with a binder, and he wanted to find a way to capture this appearance in a paint.
		In 1955 he found his answer: a new synthetic fixative resin called Rhodopas M60A, which could be thinned to act as a binder without impairing the chromatic strength of the pigment.
		Klein collaborated with a Parisian chemical manufacturer and retailer of artists' materials named Edouard Adam to develop a recipe for binding ultramarine in the resin mixed with other organic chemicals.

		In the 1950s Klein exhibited large canvases of single colours, and it is perhaps for the individual ‘International Klein Blue’; colour that Yves Klein is best known.
		In 1958, Klein created a stir in Paris by exhibiting an empty gallery painted white, entitled ‘Le Vide’, The Void.
		Not surprisingly, Klein had his critics, but has had a strong influence on art movement and direction ever since.
