Text printed lower left: "photo pierre joly - vera cardot / smi paris 580 50 42". Yves Klein's Fire Paintings: These celebrated works were executed largely in 1961 shortly after the artist founded the New Realist Movement. Despite the mystical predicates of Yves Klein's art, his works are all based on strong pragmatic principles. These paintings were literally made with the assistance of the Centre d'Essais du Gaz de France, the central research laboratory of the National Gasworks of France. These haunting "Fire Paintings" were achieved by the controlled use of an open, dangerous flame on chemically-modified fields of paper. Long associated with the most renewing of the phoenix-forces of nature, the Fire Paintings are arguably as important to the understanding Yves Klein's ambitions are his world-famous "Blue Monochromes".

Biography: Yves Klein (28 April 1928 - 6 June 1962) was a French artist considered an important figure in post-war European art. He is the leading member of the French artistic movement of Nouveau réalisme founded in 1960 by art critic Pierre Restany. Klein was a pioneer in the development of performance art, and is seen as an inspiration to, and as a forerunner of, Minimal art, as well as Pop art.

Biography: Frank Stella (1936-) is an American artist best known for his use of geometric patterns and shapes in creating both paintings and sculptures. Arguably one of the most influential living American artists, Stella’s works utilize the formal properties of shape, color, and composition to explore non-literary narratives, as seen in his work Harrar II (1967) from the Protractor series. “Abstraction didn't have to be limited to a kind of rectilinear geometry or even a simple curve geometry. It could have a geometry that had a narrative impact. In other words, you could tell a story with the shapes,” he explained. “It wouldn't be a literal story, but the shapes and the interaction of the shapes and colors would give you a narrative sense. You could have a sense of an abstract piece flowing along and being part of an action or activity.” Born on May 12, 1936 in Malden, MA, Stella went on to study history at Princeton University before moving to New York in 1958.
