:''For song by Tom Waits, see Chocolate Jesus (song)'' ''Chocolate Jesus'' is the common name of a chocolate sculpture by Richard Manderson in 1994 who called it ''Trans-substantiation 2'', by George Heslop in 2006 who called his work ''Jesus on the Cross'' and a third one by Cosimo Cavallaro in 2007 he called ''My Sweet Lord''. ==1994: Richard Manderson's works== Richard Manderson first created a series of small raspberry fondant filled chocolate Jesuses that were sold for consumption to visitors of Gorman House Arts Centre in Canberra, an Australian cultural centre and heritage site that runs theatres, workshops, exhibition space, artists' studios, offices and a café. When a US newspaper condemned his act of depicting Jesus on a chocolate, Manderson decided in answer to create an actual life-size chocolate Jesus he called ''Trans-substantiation 2''. He did so by filling a plaster mold with fifty-five pounds of melted chocolate. He used chocolate-dipped strings for hair and plastic Easter wrap for a loincloth. Manderson's work was exhibited in public around Easter in 1994, with Manderson inviting the public to come and eat his chocolate Jesus work after the exhibition. Manderson explained that he felt that what had originated as a solemn holiday in contemplation of the resurrection of Christ had become a "rather ugly period of over consumption". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chocolate Jesus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
