I really enjoyed “Nipple Jesus” by Hornby. I liked the comparison of Nipple Jesus to his
wife, Lisa. He stated that Nipple Jesus
was beautiful from far away, but as you got up close it was rough around the
edges. The article also led me to the
question of what is art because Martha’s artwork was not what she had made
physically but the reaction to it- more so the idea.
The only
issue I had with this article was that when I finished reading it I felt sorry
for Dave. I felt bad that he had
invested so much hope for this piece of artwork and ended up so disappointed. He had fallen in love with this artwork
because he thought it was beautiful in its own right when the physical piece of
art was not the point. Martha’s point
was to show people their intolerance to something different. The picture was comprised of nipples but as a
whole it was still Christ, and the onlookers had stamped on Christ.
