Response to Hornby “Nipple Jesus”


This article is basically talking about the security guard of an art gallery screwed up his job, and let a picture which is named “nipple Jesus” to be ruined by some protesters.  He is very sad about that, and he felt how much he loved this picture after he lost it.  But the artist of “nipple Jesus” is very happy about that, because he thinks the work which brings controversy is the actual good work.  I actually pretty like the artist’s thought, because if an art work is just stand here and no one even notice it that is a failure.  However, if someone hit your work so much and even want to ruin it, that’s means your work attract people, it’s kind of successful.
In the end of the story, the guard said the artist’s movie of the nipple Jesus’s CCTV movie is not succeed, and in my mind the novel might want to show that people should not be that arrogant like the artist, but it’s might be wrong. So my question is what the actual meaning beyond the surface is, or what is the author actually trying to say about?
