{{COI|date=June 2016}}{{cleanup|reason=References and links|date=June 2016}}{{Infobox artwork/wikidata}}Blessed Art Thou is an oil-and-acrylic painting by American artist Kate Kretz. It depicts actress Angelina Jolie as the Virgin Mary, hovering in the clouds with her children above a Wal-Mart store.^[1]

Background

The painting directs attention to the celebrity worship cycle: each participant in the cycle perpetuates it while pointing a finger somewhere else.^[1] The title of the painting, “Blessed Art Thou”, is gotten from a line in the Catholic prayer “Hail Mary”: “…blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb...”. {{citation needed|date=April 2018}}

The painting was originally displayed in an exhibit that featured modern and contemporary art. The painting was exhibited at the Miami Art Fair in January 2007, and created a worldwide controversy that was covered by ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and Fox television networks, as well as The International Herald Tribune, The New York Times, and many other international news sources. In the year of 2007, the painting was for sale, and its price was going for $50,000.^[2]^[3]

A full-size drawing study for the work was included in the exhibition "Beyond Re / Production: Mothering"

curated by Felicita Reuschling for the Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, Berlin in 2011. {{citation needed|date=June 2016}}
