Kline's most recognizable method/style derives from a suggestion made to
him by his friend Willem De Kooning. In 1948, de Kooning suggested to an
artistically frustrated Kline to bring in a sketch and project it with a
Bell Opticon opaque projector he had at his studio. Kline described the
projection as such:
"A four by five inch black drawing of a rocking chair...loomed in
gigantic black strokes which eradicated any image, the strokes expanding
as entities in themselves, unrelated to any entity but that of their own
existence."
