Yves Klein: Antropometrileri ve Monokromları Üzerine Güncel Bir İnceleme

Abstract

The European-based population growth, which has manifested itself since the 16th century, first initiates a wave of migration from the countryside to the city. It then creates a ready workforce. Production centers, which benefited from the ready workforce for the first time, return to steam energy as time progresses. This situation becomes widespread rapidly and paves the way for the industrial revolution. It is now the machine that is concerned. It is hoped that in the future, mechanization and the technologies that provide it will be transferred to everyday life and facilitate human life. However, only a century later, between 1914 and 1945, two major wars appear in the continental geography. There is a devastating effect on Western societies that leaves difficult traces to be erased behind, which is encountered by the occasion of these wars. Despite this, intellectual thought and criticism from the mid-20th century experience the brightest period after the Enlightenment. If we look at the criticism of art, they are ready objects discussed. References from the First World War years, texts based on contemporary philosophy and statements expressed loudly lead to a review of traditional attitudes. New perspectives are constantly derived. These perspectives, which center the forms of expression that contain traces from the inner worlds, absorb the stage, that is, performance. The artist is now a person who has awareness of the social agenda and can think interdisciplinary. His first concern when acting is originality. During the production stages, it tests both the audience's and their own limits. New Realism (Neorealism) is a movement that is referred to by names that adopt this situation and has a wide place in the history of art. Many artistic initiatives included in the article, are associated with this movement in its short life; Yves Klein, which fits performance and artwork (1928 - 1962). It is anthropometries and monochromes, which are repeated with a method specific to today's art criticism and evaluated from a close-time perspective.
