Woodcut spots from Damien Hirst. This series need no introduction. Each print is an abstract representation of a biochemical compound, expressed as a spot color from circular wood cuts.

 

It is hard for me to talk about Damien Hirst. On the one hand, I see a gifted and very talented artist who produces brilliant works. On the other, an artist-turned-factory who has become so commercialized that he would need to come up with all kinds of methods to pump up works to please the high demands for his work.

 

Andy Warhol likes to say that “making money is art, and working is art and good business is the best art.” But I tend to have a problem with art created purely to make money. Mondrian’s early works are brilliant and full of ideas, but the Mondrian after he has becoming the darling of his times left little to be desired.

 

These “limited edition prints” is probably the worse of this trend—making quick bucks in the art market, each asking approximately four-thousand pounds on today’s market. I have no doubt that these works are key to supporting the artist’s livelihood and thus allows him to be the richest living artist in Britain.

 

Art to me is pure magic, but in these works I see nothing but a money-making machine disguised as something fine but has no soul except the greed within.

# Damien Hirst

 

Damien Steven Hirst (born 7 June 1965) is an English artist, entrepreneur and art collector. He is the most prominent member of the group known as the Young British Artists (or YBAs), who dominated the art scene in Britain during the 1990s. He is internationally renowned, and is reportedly Britain's richest living artist, with his wealth valued at £215m in the 2010 Sunday Times Rich List. During the 1990s his career was closely linked with the collector Charles Saatchi, but increasing frictions came to a head in 2003 and the relationship ended.

We mostly just chilled at Helen's tower during our 3 nights there.

 

However we did venture into Bangor for an ice-cream on Sunday.

 

No danger of the ice-cream melting!

Town Hall Square, Copenhagen.

 

Arriving from the metro station.

Galería Leandro Navarro in Madrid, Spain gave a solo show to Picasso during Art Basel Hong Kong 2013.

 

Titled “Les Trois Baigneuses” or “The three bathers” in English, this painting was drawn on September 15, 1932 while Picasso is having his summer vacations in the South of France—at Boisgeloup.

 

Picasso is one of my favorite artists of all times. As a creator, his work is always changing and fresh, independent of gallery demands. His lines are brief, which shows decisiveness and maturity of a painter.

# Description by the Gallery

In 1932, inspired by his summer vacations in the South of France, Picasso executed a number of paintings of figures on a beach. This work is most closely related to two similar sized compositions, both titled Baigneuses, painted during the same period (Zervos, vol.8, nos. 61 and 62). The first (no. 61) was painted one week earlier on September the 6th and was also dean with a dense line and darkly coloured passages in the background. That work appears to contain four figures in a mostly triangular grouping. The present work contains three figures and the added element of the dressing huts in the right background. The final work (no. 62) painted on the 28th of November shows the figures more clearly delineated and the whole composition is far more sophisticated. While the last work most clearly shows the figures as play, this and the earlier painting both have an element of foreboding as the lower figure relates to the image of the drowned woman which appears in other beach scenes. With this association in mind, the scene shifts between exuberant play and a moment of highly charged distress.
