Provocatively titled piece of art that I wouldn't want on my wall (irrespective of title).

You’ve talked me into buying one. You’re right; it’s exactly my style.

A sign of brilliant visual art is when the artist has to describe what you're looking at in words painted in canvas.

Didn’t for me. I saw the image without a title, and immediately divined the name. Most of it. I guessed “Jesus, with Angry Babies.”

I think it's a nice visual joke, but then I like cartoons with a bit of subtle facial expression to them. I'm reminded of some of Kate Beaton's work.

Well the artist thought he had to describe it, since he labeled it. I wouldn't have thought of Jesus if I saw the image alone, but I don't devote much time to thinking about Him and his pals.

Eh?

Oh, you mean the tiny blue lettering at the top?

I don’t know if that’s on the poster itself. I assume it’s there for marketing purposes. I hadn’t even noticed it until you said it was labeled.
