Make It Up

Les Desmoiselles d'Avignon met Hans Bellmer's Poupèes: twelve blonde models were made up in a vivacious, painterly fashion performance. Make-up artist Val Garland pushed her skills to the limit, using a dozen bodies of different sizes to enact her wildest abstract fantasies in maquillage, the whole process captured on film.
