by Kate Kretz-- She expresses how the public worships celebrities. I think it is an excellent analogy and an eye opener. This painting reminds me that celebrities are not Gods to be worshipped. I think that is the point she is trying to make in this painting. No where does the artist suggest that Jolie is the Virgin Mary. What she is trying to point out is that people worship celebrities as though they WERE worthy of praise like God. So, if when you saw this painting and immediately thought it was a portrayal of The Virgin Mary, maybe you better check yourself, too!
