Make-up station for the Superman character in Laguna Beach, CA, on July 24, 2002.
Pictures of the original artwork, painted head models and precise written specification sheets are used as guidelines by the make-up artists to re-create the illusion of the original characters. This one is for the living picture or "tableau vivant" representing the painting "The Oath of The Horatii" by Jacques-Louis David (1784-85).
The Pageant of the Masters features tableaus vivants which are a theatrical re-creation of the world's great art masterpieces on various stages using live actors painted into the backgrounds.
