Gone to far?
January 9, 2013 at 1:36 pm
Quote:A Swedish artist has caused outrage by claiming to have created a painting using ash he took from an oven in Majdanek concentration camp. Polish prosecutors said on Tuesday they had opened an investigation. The painting, displayed in a Swedish art gallery in December, is no longer on show following protests from the Jewish community.


Some may have a different opinion on this, but to me this is simply distastefull and disgusting.

I can see how he might've been trying to do this innocently, but he totally crossed a line there.

I read this before and I wondered if the artist is only saying it to provoke and get attention for his work.

If he did it for real, he deserves punishment for violation of graves.
