For example, Brian Kershisnik is <a href="http://mormontimes.com/people_news/people_church/?id=4941" rel="nofollow">quoted</a> recently in the Mormon Times, saying: <blockquote>Not a follower of realism, Kershisnik said he believed it would be inappropriate to create realistic depictions of sacred art, which he said would invite deception. "We don't know what (Christ) looks like," he said. Even the Arnold Friburg realistic Book of Mormon paintings "are almost a tyranny," he said, because no one knows what various objects, such as the Liahona, actually looked like. Some artists paint it as a small round object while others paint it large.</blockquote> Personally, I think realism in LDS art is WAY overemphasized. Let's get some balance back in art meant to inspire Church members. There are other ways of looking at this. For example, Brian Kershisnik is quoted recently in the Mormon Times, saying:
