A fascinating panorama of the faces of Jesus today



Jesus Now presents, for the first time, a showcase of the figure of Christ in
contemporary art, graphic design, advertising, and pop culture.
Featuring the work of more than 80 artists from around the world,
including Cindy Sherman, David LaChapelle, Kehinde Wiley, Pierre et
Gilles, Nina Chanel, Mark Ryden, and Alex Grey, Jesus Now! shows how the Christ figure continues to inspire the artists of today.

In trendy galleries, on the walls of major cities, as a superhero or
manga character, in Hollywood blockbusters or in satirical TV cartoons,
Jesus is not only a guide for believers but also has become, as this
book reveals, an icon of modern pop culture.

This art anthology also
showcases how today's artists have developed new iconographies that
break with the image of the White Messiah to favor depicting Jesus in a
more historically accurate way or in ways more reflective of themselves:
Black Jesus, Maori Jesus, Native American Jesus.
