Art Work by Damien Hirst

So, i have been given the task by my collage to make one or two blogs about some artists that they showed us. these artists have not been chosen by choice, just picked out of a group. here is one work out of their pictures out of the selection that i liked.

This piece is by Damien Hirst.

It is called The Promise Of Money.

I believe it is a real cow corpse with it's guts hanging out and there is money in it's guts.

(Just to let you know)

Anyway here are my thoughts about this work.

Firstly i do think the idea is a good one. it focuses on death and gives money a bad connotation. 

But i would say that i do not like it. it is too gory for me and i can not but help and think about animal rights when i see this. it is frankly disgusting.

I must admit looking at some of the pictures of Hirst on goggle i can not help but think he is a bit of an over paid mad man. 

I like his some of his works, but I'm sure the man could take a crap and call it art and then get money for it.

anyway that's my view.
