Famous Paintings Recreated on the Human Body--Chadwick and Spector's Amazing "Museum Anatomy"

These deliciously fantastic images by Chadwick and Spector take body painting to a whole new level of fantasy, magic and sheer excellence; they are a bona fide feast to the eyes and to the imagination. These human paintings are part of a creative effort called "Museum Anatomy" which seeks to impart fresh life to and recreate famous works of art by such masters as Rubens, Picasso, Botticelli and others on the human body. I'd say the result is simply masterful!

Magnificent Body Paint Inspired by Islamic Architecture, Koranic Illustration and Pablo Neruda

This exquisite body art work is the result of a collabo between French Moroccan artist Yasmina Alaoui and fashion photographer Marco Guerra. "Her elaborate pattern usage, notes Paintilicious, is heavily influenced by Koranic illustration and Islamic architecture. In contrast, Marco Guerra...(was)inspired by Pablo Neruda’s sultry poetry. Their unique collaboration is enriched by these two contrasting styles; both combine mysterious beauty with rich cultural heritage to create a modern, and yet classical version of 'painted lady'."
