Who wants to strip in honour of Vincent van Gogh?
Monday 30 July 2012
Artists group the Itinerant Museum of Art is looking for people who will strip naked and allow a painting by Vincent van Gogh to be painted on their body.
The group wants this homage to the Dutch painter to take place in Amsterdam, Zundert where he was born, and Brussels.
Van Gogh was born 122 years ago on Sunday.
The group is currently working on a body-painting homage to the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
Would you be prepared to strip off for art? Have your say on the comment form below.

If there is a hell, I'll be there too, proudly wearing a smile on my face. Afterall, the most interesting people that have ever lived will be there as well.
By Stupid | 1 August 2012 9:05 PM@@Cluthadubh. I think a hairy body would be a perfect canvas for some of Van Gogh.
By Anne Onymous | 2 August 2012 1:00 AMI believe he actually DIED 122 years ago Sunday. He was born on March 30, as @artlover says.
