Weaponized Ugliness
Titled "Monumental Nativity", this Nativity scene was originally created between 1965 and 1975 by students and teachers from the FA Grue Art School in Castelli, Italy. The original work contained over 50 pieces, but only a few were selected for the Vatican's Nativity scene and they chose an executioner wearing a horned mask.
"Monumental Nativity" is said to be a tribute to the world-renowned ceramic works of the Abruzzo region while giving a post-modern twist to the classic Nativity scene.
Speaking with a local newspaper, Italian art historian Andrea Cionci asked if it was a "nightmare or a masterpiece".Quote:
"Forget the sweet face of the Madonna, the tender, luminous incarnation of the Child Jesus, the paternal sweetness of St. Joseph and the devout wonder of the shepherds.

The Vatican's nativity scene in St. Peter's Square is always one of Rome's biggest tourist attractions. But in keeping with the worst trends of 2020, this year's nativity scene is being mocked, belittled and roundly panned.
The primary sin, it appears, is that the scene features an astronaut.
"The Christmas presepio in St. Peter's Square contains 20 modernistic ceramic objects, including the main figures in the story of the Nativity but with toy-like faces alongside the presence of an astronaut and a morbid, satanic-looking executioner but no manger," complained the National Catholic Register.
"Vatican 'Darth Vader' nativity scene gets earthly thumbs down," dismissed Reuters. "It is absolutely terrifying," tweeted Tim Stanley, a contributor to the Daily Telegraph and Catholic Herald.
An astronaut? Well, we know that the Vatican awaits their "space brothers" and their longtime interest in ETs is well-documented.
