You will not see any crucifixes in my home. (I am a believer).

As for the photos of Auschwitz, they are important historic documants, not artwork.

Fischl's work is repulsive. Even animals are repulsed by death. How must those who lost loved ones in this manner feel about this? I am sure they are not comforted. Even the news networks had more sense than he. If the artists wanted people to experience that same revulsion, I would say that he succeeded. But like the rubble of the destruction of the towers, human decency will demand that it be cleared away.
