Biography:
Yves Klein was born to two painter parents, but received no formal artistic training. From 1952 to 1953, he lived in Japan where he earned a black belt in judo. Upon his return, he worked for sometime as a judo instructor until the 1950’s, when he began exhibiting his paintings. His paintings during this period were typically monochromatic canvasses, normally blue. Klein also had other unusual methods of painting including allowing rain to fall on paper, using a flamethrower, and making prints of the human body. He became famous across Europe but failed to gain praise in the United States after an exhibition at the Castelli gallery in New York in 1961. He died of a heart attack at a young age but produced a vast body of work and held wide influence during his short life.
