In the 1960's french artist Yves Klein is perhaps the most famous for his series of paintings "Anthropometries". The effect produced by this technique creates an image-transfer from the model's body to the medium. This includes all the curves of the model's body (typically female) being reflected in the outline of the image.

His work has been largely concerned with the struggle to integrate form and abstraction into psychologically powerful and coherent forms. An American figurative painter with a long history of creating emmensley skilled works that can be deemed as classical as their counterparts, Hale reaches a sense of almost voyeuristic exhibitionism in his new works entitled 'Record Separator.'
