Damien Hirst, “Cherry Blossoms” - The Documentary Film

[@NEONMOTORFAIRY]

The interviewer articulates his thoughts excellently.

[@99thehighstreet69]

[@grahams1609]

The most incredible facet of Hirst is how he gets away with it.

[@lisengel2498]

I love the vibrational beauty of these beautifull cherries - for me its not just the fusion of abstract- figurative its like a cantillation of beautifull vibrations of life and light and love - and what an amazing scale giving you feeling of floating in space - 💗🌸

[@ArtHistoryProfessor]

Whether you like legendary YBA Damien Hirst (b. 1965) or not (and I do)-his boldly creative imprimatura on contemporary art has been monumental since the late 1980s. His work is often viewed as being overtly morbid and obsessively fixated with ideas that solely revolve around death and decay. In actuality, nothing could be further from the truth. Instead, his work examines many of the starker perils and pitfalls of our existence as human beings-chief amongst those are our ongoing compulsive addictions-albeit to prescription drugs and/or the decadent excesses of our insatiable desire to want more of everything. Thus, simply put, Damien Hirst reminds us-via his use of adroitly conceptual dialogue-that life and death are, in fact, an inextricably convergent tapestry of sorts. Therefore, through his signature use of controversial objects, e.g., the severed cadavers of dead animals and preserved insects, he forcibly compels us to accept these universal truths that lie at the foundational core of this symbiotic relationship.

[@IngridSaybe]

Amazing. How Nature appeared. From death to gardens or trees. I must say thanks to the Fondation Cartier, the artist and interviewer.

I am at art school in south of france. I started painting trees in the summer. I like how he said that trees are abstract and figurative at the same time, or something like that. That’s what I feel too :) thx for this, references for school 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@ChristopheHoullier]

Un aveu troublant : Venir à la peinture après l'avoir si longtemps méprisé ; jamais résister, toujours suivre le mouvement. Au début, je pensais naïvement que Hirst était sincère dans sa peinture et que le communiqué de presse accompagnant son exposition était une manière d’arrondir les angles pour sa cour nourrie à l’art conceptuel (bref encore une façon de faire passer des vessies pour des lanternes). Par l’emploi des mots « ironie joyeuse », j’y voyais une manière de justifier ses peintures très classiques. Puis, j’ai compris. Dans ce petit milieu, il faut vraiment s'être fait un nom pour accepter ce qui n'aurait reçu, au mieux, qu'un silencieux mépris en réponse à tout "peintre du dimanche" traitant exactement le même sujet. En fait, voici encore les rires carnassiers de la caste, un bras d'honneur à tous ces peintres et amateurs d'art, qu'elle considère comme les naufragés de l'arrière-garde avec leurs jolies peintures naturalistes. Cette soi-disant avant-garde en est toujours avec la dialectique édictée depuis un siècle par le maître Duchamp, la moquerie pleine de morgue des puissants et le marché en plus ! Amusant, ce discours profond de la découverte de la peinture. Mais ça masque mal cette nouvelle façon de rire du "petit peuple" et de ses sujets simples.

[@lotharlamurtra7924]

L’art, la beauté ne vous intéressent pas du tout. Votre truc c’est la Théorie Critique, Adorno peut-être, le neomarxisme et le wokisme aussi. Sachez que l’histoire de l’art commence avec Duchamp et Fountain by R. Mutt.

[@ChristopheHoullier]

@@lotharlamurtra7924 Ah d'accord ! avant il n'y avait rien.... et c'est moi le woke ? La cancel culture ne finit pas de m'étonner...

[@lotharlamurtra7924]

@@ChristopheHoullier avant c’était les beaux arts. Le regard de Duchamp comporte une renaissance de la perception esthétique. En fait nous sommes d’accord sur ce sujet n’est-ce pas ?

[@ChristopheHoullier]

​@@lotharlamurtra7924 Oui je suis d'accord sur le changement de perception esthétique apporté par Duchamp. Mais avant lui, la notion de beau avait déjà évolué. Les arts modernes ont amené Duchamp. Mais plus que la notion esthétique, il a torpillé également toutes les conventions autour de la notion d'œuvre. Une révolution qui n'a pas encore été dépassée pour une frange d'artistes se réclamant du maître. Cette frange qui, depuis, a longtemps méprisé la peinture et que Hirst ici singe avec morgue.

[@fusains-Hitsuzendō-peintures]

This series would be more impressive to me if Hirst had the confidence to work on a much smaller scale. Massive paintings are a bit of a cop out and are often made for the luxury art market rather than for people to view in a public gallery.
