"Blessed Art Thou"
Thats the title of a painting causing quite a stir in North Carolina, and thanks too the "net" many other places as well. If you take it in the context that is was meant you will see the artists point, very well made, tho you will still probably not like her painting
"My intention was to ask a question and get people to think," Kate Kretz said in a telephone interview Friday from Miami. "I had no idea so many people would be asking a question and thinking." she found herself feeding that obsession with a painting of actress Angelina Jolie as the Virgin Mary hovering over a Wal-Mart check-out line.
the artist said the painting addresses "the celebrity worship cycle." She said she chose Jolie for the subject "because of her unavoidable presence in the media, the worldwide anticipation of her child, her 'unattainable' beauty and the good that she is doing in the world through her example, which adds another layer to the already complicated questions surrounding her status."
