*PAINTING, *ARTISTS, *RELIGIOUSNESS, *ART
Abstract

The article presents the author's comments on the painting "The Holy Virgin Mary" by Chris Ofili. It is a funny, jazzy painting, in which the Virgin Mary is depicted as a broad-featured black woman in a blue dress shaped like a leaf. The author says that the painting may not be a painting for the ages but it is fine to look at, even behind bulletproof glass. It is absurd to call the painting anti-Catholic as Chris Ofili, an Englishman of Nigerian extraction, is himself a practicing Catholic, and the Virgin Mary was not Catholic and isn't even a uniquely Catholic symbol.
