Four or five years ago the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, 
NM showed a collage by Alma Lopez depicting "Mary in a midriff-baring, 
two-piece outfit covered with flowers. Mary stands barefoot, with arms 
akimbo and chin up in a pose that could be interpreted as a defiant stance
." There were some people who had a problem with it, as you can imagine. 
Here's a link to the news article:
