Remember the time that Jesus carried you home after you passed out at that party?
...I hope you're ashamed of yourself.
I've always hated this painting. What real man wears purple anyway? I think I've already sufficiently explained my disdain for images of Jesus, but I've wanted to do a post on this painting for a while.
I have never liked this particular rendition of Christ. Although I understand and applaud the sentiment behind it your description is the most accurate as to why I don't like it! It reminds me of the evening I caught my friend as she passed out and subsequently spent the night on my couch. And the friend who was able to carry her? Looked like Jesus without a beard and with glasses.
A derogatory term used to describe works created specifically in order to pander to public demand. In this case, Christian demand for cutesy knick-knacks and other pseudo-spiritual items. I feel like the word 'kitschy' could describe a lot of the contemporary Christian church. We're converting the world, one t-shirt at a time.
