A Case of Mistaken Identity...

Tragic though the decimation of the painting is, I can't help laughing at it. It's SO extreme!

I don't know Jo - making someone look like a Kardashian might be one of the unforgivable sins :)

I'm with The Bug. The less like them, the better.

Sort of has a Picasso thing going with the mouth.

Kardashian? Wrong gender, no cleavage.

My guess is that the restored painting will become much more popular than the original! It has an interesting, modernistic look to it. I rather like it actually.

Oh yes ... the Scandinavian Jesus -- tall, slender, long blonde hair. I work with a man who has pictures of Jesus in his cubicle and they all depicit Jesus this way.

I asked him once if he really believed Jesus looked like he was from Norway. He said yes, of course, certainly.

I reminded him Jesus lived in the Middle East -- he did not like that thought as he thinks anyone from the Middle East is a terrorist. Like most religious radicals he is narrow minded, ignorant and bigoted.

Enjoyed your post!

hahaha.... that painting was extreme in every sense and I agree with all the first 4 commentators... :D

And yes, Russel is right. people tend to give their own perfect visions of the religion they believe in. Like the Scandinavian Jesus, perhaps.

There is a distinct simian quality to her depiction, and whether Jesus was blond or brunette, I doubt that he looked like an ape. I will not attempt to answer the burning question of whether the Kardashians are human.

At least the Kardashians are Armenian so it's a better comparison than the Scandinavian version!

First time here. Interesting post.

lol, Oh Jo! Always picking on my poor Kardashians...lol. Great post. I had seen that picture of Jesus but I didn't know what that was all about and hadn't had time to go back and find where I had seen it and research it. Glad you did a post on it. Very intersting!
