Throughout the centuries, artists have used models in assorted ways, but no one has ever used them in quite the manner of Parisian Painter Yves Klein. He has his nude models smear themselves with paint, then lets them hurl themselves at a blank canvas while he shouts directions from a stepladder. By such tricks, Klein has become at 32 the fad of gallery-going France, and his prices have risen fourfold in the past two years. Last week he invaded West Germany with an eyebrow-raising exhibit in the textile town of Krefeld, twelve miles northwest of Düsseldorf...

He found that working with brushes was too finicky, so he bought himself a paint roller that could cover even the biggest canvas in a trice.

...added a fine array of color. Carol Lee Dixon's setting in the style of Mies van der Rohe offered tremendous variety in its simple starkness. Quite frank and open, it consisted simply of a scaffold structure with spotlights and a variety of drapery appended. The lighting, by Allen Klein, was certainly dramatic enough but often failed to adequately illuminate the actors. Harriet Kaufman Levi's costumes, however, are without blemish.
