art and the body

illusion.scene360.com/.../

Body painting is an ancient form of art, used by tribes for camouflage, identification, and rituals. Reemerging as an art movement in the 60’s, body art highlighted the beauty of the human body and broke through the conservative social constraints. Now days we embrace body art through fashion magazines, festivals, support for sport teams etc.
The annual Australian Body Art Festival is held in the sunshine coast each year in May.
