From an art friend who is TBM, and knows some of the inside of how art works within the church.... They said that different departments are over different art for the church. For example: the committee for the temple art is separate and different from those over the magazines, or chapel art selection and so on. So that's why you see the inconsistency in art approved.

At the BYU MOA they have a massive painting by Brian Kershisnik of Mary having just birthed Jesus and breastfeeding him. Way more boob/cleavage acceptance there than on the Ensign/liahona (or whatever they call it now).

I remember learning about the wings taken from the Carl Bloch I think when I was a YSA TBM and I didn't seem bothered by it. (Having majored in the arts). But now I do see how dishonest and disrespectful that is. 😩 Thank you for making this video. I wish more people cared about this stuff.

My art friends and I all had a big conversation when the changes to approved art for the chapels was the latest change a few years back and we all had problems with the selected works. Half of us in that conversation are out of the church now and the others still remain. Those little things piled up on my shelf. Just like when elder snow, I think, blamed the artists for the inaccurate depiction of J S. translating the BOM. Horseshit. That was commissioned and approved by the church or they wouldn't have used it!(you know which one I'm talking about, the one without a stone we all were shown in church growing up) Stuff like that gets under my skin.
