I just stumbled upon this painting of Kretz featuring our demigoddess Miss Jolie, while surfing. The disappointing factor is the portrayal of Angelina as Virgin Mary – I mean come on, she is holding a daughter born out of wedlock and is still virgin?
As for the celebrity worship process, it would be better if she were depicted as Venus or Aphrodite. The beauty and goodness does not equate with divinity. As Blake Gopnik (Washington Post art critic) said, “Once you've deciphered it, there's not much chance of giving it a second look."
I second that.
