Art is Art is Art ... I Guess

There's a truly weird photo gallery of the year's "Great Performers" in today's New York Times Magazine. It's a bit disarming because this time of year, we're so used to seeing actors and actresses photographed in what can only be called Glamour Shots, or at least ones that portray them "working." But the photographers here are going for some bizarre looks, using body paint and other effects to create what can only be called "artsy fartsy shots." Not sure I like many of these (Charlize Theron excepted), but they're worth a look because they're so startling and different.
