This paper analyses the use of artistic productions as means of internal social division in hunter-gatherer groups. The manipulation of visual art is presented as a source of power and hence of internal social division in a human group. Such concept is shown to be relevant in understanding some dynamics of art use in hunter-gatherer societies, in which no surplus accumulation has been documented. These concepts are applied to the study of the use of body paintings by the Selk'nam and Yamana (Tierra del Fuego). Some of the social division dynamics generated through the use of body paintings are thus identified: one in which paint is used to visually marks previously existing social roles, and another one in which paint is actively involved in the construction of social roles through its production, display and observation. In each case, the active impact of the manipulation of these images in the social life of the groups under study is emphasised.
