Artwork Description

The Toothbrush Moustache Man

0.0 x 0.0

It is a ready-made creation of a found object collected from public domain which is copyright free and there is no trace for the photographer who originally had taken this picture. It is assumed that the picture was taken during 1920 when Adolf Hitler was young. The idea of this art piece has come from conceptual art of Marcel Duchamp specially his ready-made L.H.O.O.Q. (c. 1919) as well as Twenty-five colored Marilyns (c. 1962) by Andy Warhol. Adolf Hitler was an Austrian born German politician and the central character of World War II and holocaust. His appearance in a sequence and gradual translucence offer to reexamine who the real person is. It invites more about his fearless personality and to justify his characteristics and vision toward humanity. Multiplicity with tonal transparency confuses spectator about the virtue of likeness and creates illusionistic dilemma recognizing the real one.
