PITT STRIPS FOR LIVING PORTRAIT

BRAD PITT fans are delighted to learn the Hollywood hunk will be shedding his clothes – for the sake of art.

The TROY star, recently separated from wife JENNIFER ANISTON, is one of several celebrities, including WINONA RYDER, ISABELLA ROSSELLINI and MIKHAIL BARYSHNIKOV, who recently posed for "living video portraits" by artist ROBERT WILSON, according to US WEEKLY.

Pitt's portrait shows him standing naked – except for his shorts and socks – on a simulated New York City street in the pouring rain, holding a toy pistol.

Fans hoping for a glimpse of Pitt in all his nude glory can view the portrait along with the rest of the pop art-art images on VOOM hi-definition satellite service in the autumn (05), when the stills will be on display in New York City.
