Hirst describes his cherry blossoms as \"garish and messy and fragile\"; the series signals a shift in Hirst's career away from minimalism and \"the imagined mechanical painter\" toward a painting that delights in the potential haphazardness of the medium, as well as the artist's own fallibility as a creator. Using a conceptual approach, Hirst explores questions of beauty, color and excess in these paintings. Rich in color and striking in number, Hirst's \u003ci\u003eCherry Blossoms\u003c\/i\u003e are both an appropriation and a tribute to the pictorial art of the 19th and 20th centuries. Presented at the Fondation Cartier in Paris in 2021, \u003ci\u003eCherry Blossoms\u003c\/i\u003e was Damien Hirst's first museum exhibition in France.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDamien Hirst\u003c\/b\u003e (born 1965) rose to prominence in the 1990s as one of the Young British Artists, garnering attention for his controversial site-specific pieces. A 1989 graduate of Goldsmiths College, Hirst was awarded the Turner Prize in 1995. Now one of the contemporary art world's most famous figures, Hirst continues to surprise audiences with a staggering diversity of work, ranging from sculpture and painting to installation and performance art. In 2012, a retrospective of his 30-year career was staged at Tate Modern. Hirst is represented by Gagosian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 428\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7 x 14.6 x 10.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 18, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45807691202757,"sku":"9782869251588","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/OKP2RRxevj9782869251588_94d3e654-c17a-4be7-aab5-5b173a3edb32.webp?v=1770923325","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/damien-hirst-cerisiers-en-fleurs-damien-hirst-cherry-blossoms-french-edition-hardcover-1","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
