all of the images in this post are works by Damien Hirst
Tudor Mitroi, an art school friend was in Houston last week. He told me about a Damien Hirst show he had seen in Los Angeles a couple of years ago. We were talking about the decorative in contemporary art. He used the word "beautiful" to describe the show. I have never heard that word used in connection with Damien Hirst. I am ambivalent about posting Hirst's animal corpses on my blog. I think they are obscene.
The work from the recent Gagosian show is composed of butterflies.

once you know who made these gorgeous works, i think you re-evaluate your response. knowing who made them, they become sinister, morbid. whats the difference between dead mammals and dead insects?
