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!

The Last Sitting--Marilyn Monroe's Topless Pictures From Her Last Photoshoot Ever

These are vintage chromogenic pictures of Marilyn Monroe who, almost 50 years after her death in August of 1962, remains one of the most famed and celebrated icons in the world. The topless photos of Marilyn, collectively referred to as "The Last Seating", were snapped by photographer Bert Stern for Vogue Magazine in 1962 just six weeks before the platinum blonde mega diva was found dead at the age of 36 in her California home.

The famous prints which emerged recently, are scheduled to go up for auction on May 8th in New York.

Enigmatic Art--Ray Caesar's Gorgeous, Puzzling, and Provocative Subjects

These images are the magnificent work of British-Canadian visual surreal artist and digital painter Ray Caesar whose work has been featured before on Lunatica Desnuda. All I can say is that I never cease to be completely fascinated by these gorgeous, enigmatic, provocative and evocative images so deftly created by the immensely talented Caesar. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
