Trouble over Jesus poster: image sparks heated discussion – “blasphemous”. Artist Salustiano García Cruz designed a Jesus poster for “Semana Santa”, Holy Week in Seville.
The poster depicts Jesus as too pretty, too sexy, too profane and too kitschy. The artist defends himself: “Follow his own dirtiness” The artist wanted to show a resurrected Jesus, the brighter side of Holy Week. The Spanish Institute for Social Policy (IPSE), a conservative citizens' organization, wants to prevent the poster with a clear threat.
