How Charles Krafft inadvertently forced the art world to deal with “holocaust denial”
Prominent Seattle artist Charles Krafft, whose comment on this very program last July that he believed the holocaust was “a myth” caused shock in the politically far-Left and Jewish-dominated art world, tells what it’s been like on his end since The Stranger article appeared on February 13th. Discussion includes:
- Charles’ interview requests include Public Radio International (PRI);
- What his old friends are saying and writing to him now;
- His history as a ceramics artist with his “Disasterware” debuting in 1991 and “Spone China” in 1999;
- His connections to Slovenia and Romania, and the influence they had;
- Difference between holocaust denial, skepticism and revisionism;
- The importance, or not, of the artist’s intention and reasons for creating the work of art;
- Is it the art or the artist that the art public should consider;
- Art like Krafft’s can give a little distance from the “relentless mythologization of figures like Hitler (seen at upper left in the form of a teapot) into symbolic demons.”

Pushing Andre the Nigger off as white still is beyond comprehension, I can't listen to her or take anything she says seriously anymore.
