Abstract

What image forms in your mind when you picture Jesus Christ? Can you think of where this scene came from? Chances are, an artist named Warner Sallman may have influenced what you're picturing. There are over 1 billion reproductions of his drawings of Christ. Half of those have been of one particular portrait of a serene blonde man. Our conversation with David Morgan of the Valparaiso University art department covers the evolution of religious popular art in America, and how culture and marketing influence our perceptions of God.
