POST 5

Hello Everybody!!

Well in the web site (http://www.guardian.co.uk). I found an article about Damien Hirst and a giant statue of a woman witch he is building. And I found very funny the commentary about Hirst’s work because this was devastating. 

The critic said that the huge female figure was a resemblance of the totalitarian art; he said that it looks like the Saddam Hussein’s sculpture.

I have to say that the critical was really funny and great because, well is true that Hirst is a controversial artist basically why he got rich with his work as an artist, thing that is discussing for the art people mainly because some critics put his quality in question. Well and the other hand Hirst is a very arrogant artist and person so… I think that his personality don’t have a good reception in many people.

But when I was reading this article I couldn’t forget when a Chilean guy said that Damien Hirst was dead, and I think that this was this year….

Well I saw the picture of the sculpture and in my opinion I’m agree whit some words of the critic: “Hirst's statue in Devon revives the ugly vacuities of art in the age of the dictators. It really is a monstrosity”.

I have to recognize that these words were terrible. I think Hirst is a media phenomenon and I don’t know if he is a good or bad artist, he is part of the contemporary art so I can say that I like some works of him and others not so much.

Bye!!!
