The deep incongruity of placing the two together artists call juxtaposition, then they take that and turn it into an artistic expression.
Artists are constantly groping for the unusual and extreme, to become known for being a pioneer in the art world.
They have to be careful not to cross the line of decency -- but these days some take extra pride in shocking the viewer.
.
It seems to me Newchurch is so afraid of being accused of offending non-Catholics (especially Jєωs) that they make changes.
They take away traditional Catholic elements of our worship and replace them with what won't offend.
Read: something that isn't perceived as "anti-Semitic."     
Jєωs hate the Cross.
Jєωs hate the Crucifix.
Jєωs hate Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rabbis teach his natural father was a demon and Christ cast out devils by the power of his father, the devil.
It's in Scripture.
.
Well, they can't make Jєωs happy all the time, but to "meet them halfway" they're not averse to taking away the Crucifix.
They do that by removing the INRI
(which the Pharisees of Our Lord's time tried to remove but Pilate rejected their appeal. He told them, "What I have written, I have written." Good for him! He stood his ground. Not too surprising for a Roman).
.
By removing the INRI they make the thing no longer a Crucifix.
.
Any object cursorily looking like a cross, but missing the INRI, is not a Crucifix.
It stands for "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jєωs," written in Latin, Greek and Hebrew, so everyone could understand it.
It might seem like a tiny detail, but it is a dealbreaker.
All crucifixes have the INRI above Our Lord's head or else they're not a crucifix, even if claudel or anyone else says they are.
Not in Scripture, but in the тαℓмυd.

Many South American crucifixes show Our Lord dressed.
I have such a crucifix, given to my parents by an old traditional monk (he used to teach at Ecône). He liked it a lot but he knew people wouldn't... It comes from Mexico.

Maybe they’d better consult their Best bled.  Christ arose from the tomb, not the Cross.

Maybe people need to understand some traditions are different to those of their own country... 
In South America, Confirmation is given straight after baptism, for instance. In France there is something called Solemn Communion in High School. Yet most people don't know anything about these.
