Taking the "if I can do it, it's probably not art" argument (his quote), he sweepingly dismisses as nihilistic "that ant-covered Jesus video and anything by paint-dripper Jackson Pollock." Instead, he admires good old Catholic art, like the paintings that the Spanish used as part of their colonial campaign to Christianize Native Americans on the Pacific Coast. [Big Hollywood]
