“Untitled Anthropometry,” created by Yves Klein in 1960, is a figurative artwork measuring 209 x 153 centimeters. The artwork showcases the artist’s distinctive style, characterized by vibrant blue pigments and avant-garde techniques.
The artwork depicts human forms imprinted in various dynamic poses. The figures are rendered in an intense blue color, which contrasts sharply against the white background, creating a striking visual impact. Klein’s technique involved using live models as “human brushes,” pressing their paint-covered bodies onto the canvas. This method not only captures the physical form but also conveys a sense of movement and vitality. The abstract shapes and fluid lines lend the composition a sense of rhythm and energy, reflective of Klein’s exploration of the interplay between art, the human body, and space.
