Could be like imagining the audience in their underwear. If someone's ever annoying you with how arrogant they are about what they're saying and take themselves too seriously, just picture your load on their face and they're suddenly much easier (funner) to deal with.
Or it could be representative of the increasing sexualization of American society and how, as "NC-17" 40 years ago has become "PG-13" today, the XXX of today is moving steadily towards PG-13 too, and pictures like facials will be commonplace in public (after all, what IS exposed that is censored by the FCC and such?).
Or it could be the artist doing what every other artist does: Creates immortality through an image, but here he is being ironic by using man's first immortality-paint-brush to do so...
My point is this: He is trying to say something, and there are various ways to interpret it. That's one definition of "art," I believe.
