Human touch is different without skin: X-Ray Portraits


I'm a huge fan of anatomical art, so I was excited to see the three pieces on pages 164-5 Arterial Fibrillation, Booster, and Virgin Mary. I usually like Rauschenberg, so it's no surprise that Booster is an exciting work for me. Using x-rays for a self portrait is brilliant.

I've found a couple of other works using x-rays as an art medium. Here's one I wanted to share, because it's the first time I've really seen "romantic" skeletal works.
