A Portrait of God
June 14, 2007God seems to be a big subject for famous works of art, and I can’t help but wonder what He must think of all these.
I imagine there must be an art gallery somewhere in heaven with a special wall reserved for the best ones, and another somewhere in hell for the rest of them. But how is it decided which go where?
There are probably a few main criteria for how these are all evaluated, and the most important is obviously accuracy. For example, did Jesus have a pony tail, or was He more into the curly surfer-hair complete with emo poses?
Other important details would include those such as the color and style of clothes He’s depicted wearing, whether the lighting hits Him right, and whether the artist correctly guessed His body type.
I think these are the kinds of things that have the greatest effect on an artist’s total score.
