The decade of the 1960's involves a general overflow of the traditional courses of culture, which would also radically affect art. Body and life enter the scene by being directly inscribed onto the surface of the canvas, as is the case in Yves Klein's Anthropometries, or by reclaiming the corporeal and physical basis of representation, as is the case of American artists Cy Twombly and Philip Guston. In the face of the strict definition of the art medium on behalf of the established art and criticism, artists proceed to break with any esthetic or linguistic determination, which are rejected as oppressive.
