the tusk picture

Ohne Titel (Untitled), by Neo Rauch, 1996. Silkscreen 40x60cm.

This is here because Ol'Hoss mentioned powdered rhino horn and ibex horn a few posts back.

To me, it clearly looks like two guys bandsawing elephant tusks and feeling uneasy about it. (Actually, the guy in the foreground appears to have two bodies. Or maybe he's two guys.)

Or is it a castration allegory?

Other thoughts...?
