Holzapfel, a professor of religion, stated there are many different artistic expressions of Jesus. This happens because the artists are painting an idea, not a likeness. Each observer then must accept an image that fits into his/her background--religious, cultural, economical, educational, etc.--which has a bearing on this concept. LDS art does not have a long enough history to establish a trend. Mormon artists have been influenced by other Christian artists.
