A nice exhibition on the work of Yves Klein, who died so young of a heart attack. One thing that I realized during the exhibition was that though I had been aware that he was involved in Judo, I hadn’t seen a possible connection to his large body paintings in which he essentially has women roll and move on his canvases on the floor, with their bodies covered in (blue) paint.
Some of the posters for the exhibition have some good phrases:
Das Blut der Sensibilität ist blau (The blood of sensibility is blue)
Blau ist das Sichtbar werden des Unsichtbaren (Blue is the invisible becoming visible)
