The nature of monkey is irrepressible.

It's got a an early Picasso feel to it.

I'd like to see lolsome "restoration" of religious art become a regular and frequent thing.

 

[newharper]

Would I be right in guessing that the three stiffs are from some T.V. reality show? Xfactor or whatever it's called?

Art evolves. I think it's an improvement.

I'm not understanding why Jesus didn't grant her the magical superpower of art restoration.

I bet if it had been a Hindu restoring a mural of Ganesha with no years of study or scientific knowledge it would have ended up looking brand new.

I love it, I haven't laughed so much in ages. No way should they paint over it again. There's a Spanish facebook site with photoshoppe stuff, which is hilarious also, my favourite being:

They're from 'show me the monet', David Lee on the left, was just on telly harshing the buzz and calling the old dear a 'dreadful artist'

It looks like a James Ensor designed Mungo Jerry album cover.

who are we to say that christ didn't look a bit like Ceaser from Rise of The Planet of The Apes

I bet curators all over the world are doing this:

I wouldn't be suprised if one or two stroked out.

The art fellow on the news was brilliant " when I saw this I laughed! If a five year old had done it it couldn't have been worse. Luckily it wasn't that important a piece"

Someone has just put a petition on my Facebook wall that says "Firmad si queréis que no destruyan la obra de arte de Cecilia" (Sign here if you don't want Cecilia's art-work to be destroyed.")

It seems that the new version is gaining fans rapidly.

Sign it too if you feel that this modern jewel should get the respect it deserves.

One of the comments refers to her as an old-age pensioner Banksy.

No need, they start the restoration on Monday. It's the lovers of real art who need a petition. Time is against us.

More evidence that we need to preserve this new masterpiece.

Everyone's a critic.

I think she's just ahead of her time. If some cunt like Damien Hurst or that bed woman did this, then it would be hailed as a post-modern masterpiece. And I would have to agree.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Genius! How did nobody notice her doing it? Must have taken granny a while surely?

I wonder when it dawned on her that it was going horribly wrong, but that she had to finish it in any event.

I think that her version of the painting is an ironic reflection of the perverse nature and distortion that is the spanish church today, a materialistic and in some cases reactionary fascist supporting organization whose hierarchy still meddles in right wing politics acting as opposition whenever a fake left wing government is in power. A veritable celestial portrait of Dorian gray.

She belongs to a religious generation that will burn in hell for stealing hundreds of thousands of new born babies all over Spain, from the 40's right up to the 90's, for profit. Some of these stolen babies are only now being reunited with their real parents. The scale of the operation was massive.

Now watch the priest shooting scene in Land and Freedom. It's great. (minute 37.00)
