Body Painting
First practised during the Stone Age, body painting has become a distinctive feature of late 20th century postmodernist art, as illustrated by the trompe-l'oeil painting of New Zealander Joanne Gair (b.1958), notably her creation of "Demi Moore's Birthday Suit" - photographed by Annie Leibovitz - which appeared on the front cover of Vanity Fair magazine in August 1992. Body Art Festivals - like the World Bodypainting Festival (Seeboden, Austria) and the Sydney Body Art Ride - are also growing in popularity.
