Catalogue Note

"Personally I would never attempt to smear paint over my own body and become a living brush; on the contrary, I would rather put on my tuxedo and wear white gloves."  The artist quoted in Exhibition Catalogue, Houston, Rice Museum, Yves Klein 1928-1962: A Retrospective, 1982, p. 124
