Scary Crucifix

I don't know....I actually kind of like it...

However, according to a BBC news article the Reverend Ewen Souter said the 10ft crucifix was "a horrifying depiction of pain and suffering" which was also "putting people off". It has since been removed from the church in West Sussex England where it had been displayed.

This sculpture of Christ was designed, and created in the 1960s, and is made of coal dust and resin. I believe it reflects the mood, and art at that time period (my opinion I'm no art critic) and to get rid of it is to destroy a bit of history.

What do you think?
