Angelina Jolie The Saint coming soon to the Wal-mart nearest you. Film at 11.

I think this falls under the category of art imitating life.

No,it means that her honor, like everything else at WalMart, has a price. And that price is always discounted.

Why the incessant stupidity? Why do these artist think they have to always make some kinda weird convoluted political "statement" to shock people?
My 4 yr old kid could have painted stick figures that have more artistic value than this idiotic, POS.
btw, I think this painting sux! Could ya tell?

I think it's kind of clever. To me, the point is that the people there at Wal-mart, at the checkout counter with all the celebrity gossip magazines, put Angelina Jolie in the position of the Mother of God.
Fifteen years ago, there could have been a similar picture with Princess Diana.

It is kinda clever , Since the artist is a woman I wonder if she took into account the
Madonna - Whore complex that some men have

Washington Post art critic Blake Gopnik, asked to comment about "Blessed Art Thou" on a Post blog, was unimpressed. "Once you've deciphered it, there's not much chance of giving it a second look," Gopnik wrote. If millions of people go through the trouble of deciphering it, I would say that the artist has accomplished his goal.

It's not the sort of thing I'd want around the house, but the execution is good (at least as far as one can tell from the tiny photo), and it's a pretty sharp satire.
Good suggestion about the Madonna-whore idea, grjr21 - that might be in there, too.

Actually, I think it is a great comment on modern society.
I've been ruminating lately over the artificiality of the popular culture we have created for ourselves. It's amazing the effort we put into things of no value.

Really? Are her other works any good, because the above painting is really bad.
