Spat in Germany about artist's work...seems clear that he is mocking the Nazis, not praising them. Grotesque, aren't they? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8155542.stm

2. interesting point, from article |
|
Last year hundreds of Mr Hoerl's "Nazi" gnomes went on show in the Belgian city of Gent, in an exhibition called "Dance with the Devil".
He said that Belgians had well understood the political meaning "when one portrays the master race as a garden gnome".
"In 1942 I would have been murdered by the Nazis for this work," he said.
