Art/Film Convergence Minus Happy Ending
2006-Jan-26 by Laughcalvin

Suaire de Mondo Cane by Yves Klein, was comissioned by one of the early 'shockumenatry' Italian Filmmaking duos, Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi, for their 1962 film Mondo Cane.
Klien's method was to let beautiful women bathe in ultramarine blue paint and then have these human brushes produce body prints as it was filmed. He was a very spiritual person and was later shocked to see his work depicted in the film in such a horrible manner and after the premier, soon died of a heart attack. Great Poster but an even more beautiful painting. The film is available on ebay and I believe Amazon. Via the excellent BitterCinema
