Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Ecce Homo (García Martínez and Giménez)" in English language version.
[...] the updated monkey-like Christ has a freakish new power all its own, and may be its own kind of metaphor for modern man.
Works such as the Giménez Jesus are as vital for believers – and as insightful for the rest of us – as traditional masterpieces, albeit for different reasons... We gain access to one woman's vision of her savior, uncompromised by schooling. Her painting documents a live relationship. For some, that will be alluring, inviting them likewise to pursue their connection with their god or messiah. To any of us willing to set aside our sneering irony, it provides rare raw access to human faith at work.
Martinez is not a great artist and his painting Ecce Homo is not a 'masterpiece'. It is a minor painting in the dregs of an academic tradition.
