Lutheran Surrealism

This is sort of like Rene Magritte's famous, Tyranny of images, aka "This is not a pipe."

Martin Luther as Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros. (works for dia de los Muertos too).
Indestructible Liturgy, based on Man Ray's "Indestructible Object." I guess while I love the traditional liturgies, I don't have any hang ups about contemporary worship like some Lutherans, but nor do I think we should throw the baby out with the bath water either. Once upon a time what Luther and Bach did was counter-cultural and iconoclastic.
Frau Katie, little deer- obviously based on the Frida Kahlo painting
Photo of Luther as surrealist Rene Magritte. No special meaning, just kinda weird and cool.
Phillip Melancthon can't sleep, based on one of Salvador Dali's more famous works.
C.F.W. Walther with Dali's mustache.
The Holy Spirit upon Erasmus, based on some renaissance painting and one by Rene Magritte.
