If you are the kind of person who might still occasionally open X, you were probably bombarded this week with a ton of tweets that appeared to be a bunch of gobbledygook. "Clavicular almost caught a CAREER-ENDING cortisol spike after a LARPMAXXED stacy tried jesterfying him on stream by calling him a good boy while he was mid-mog between 2 LOW-TIER NORMIES at ASU," read one such post.
There are few career paths where a professional mishap leads to great success, but Cecilia Giménez found one. The Spanish artist, who died this week at the age of 94, rose to fame and notoriety in the 2010s for her delightful "restoration" of "Ecce Homo," a fresco of Jesus in a Zaragoza church. The face that launched a million memes, affectionately known as "Beast Jesus," may not have inspired religious ecstasy, but it birthed a cultural icon.
