I thought it was interesting, the way that it took on the idea that there could be no response by art to the Holocaust. I think as well as being a family history, and a brilliant graphic novel, it was about the difficulties of representing what had happened, and the difficulties of being a writer/artist post-WWII. Maybe von Hausswolff is trying to express that, simplistic as it is...?Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941917503687179585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18775356.post-2622049491216479462012-12-07T11:22:28.546+00:002012-12-07T11:22:28.546+00:00Hey Tim, I guess art hasn't changed that much ...Hey Tim, I guess art hasn't changed that much of late. If it's not us doing Emperor's New Clothes over Mr. Hirst's latest or blinking strip lighting, it's something like this. <br />"Publicity is as publicity does, Roth", as my mother always says to me.
