This Hitler rug looks creepy, don't you think? It looks like a strip skin of Hitler. It will definitely scare all of your guests. This weird art object is created by Israeli artist Boaz Arad. He irritates the visitors of its exhibition “VoozVooz†with this work in the Centre for Contemporary kind in Tel Aviv.
Implications - It really isn't hard to see why people might be irritated by in-your-face art like this; but then again, that is entirely the point. Like it or not, Boaz Arad's art challenges viewers to confront their own feelings in a decidedly direct way. In the end, that is pretty much what all art is about.
