"There Will Be Milkshakes!" is a vibrant and satirical painting by Dave Macdowell, a 20th-century artist, that blends religious imagery with American consumer culture. The central figure, a man with a prominent mustache, holds two milkshakes as if they were chalices, while a crucified Jesus figure hangs above him, with blood dripping onto the man's forehead and the background. The oil derricks in the fiery background, a quintessential American symbol, and the milkshake, a symbol of American consumption, suggest a critique of American capitalism and its relationship with religion. The painting's bold colors and dynamic composition further emphasize the artist's commentary on the absurdity of consumerism in modern society.
