And it is all relative...

I think that Bacon is one of the greatest painters of all time...But time is relative...And I think that Bacon is the past... And Damien is the future. The difference is that bacon tried to describe the 20th century the best that he could... And he did a really good job at it... So Hirst tries to do the same to the 21st century... So should we give a whole century to this guy?.. Bacon dug in the trenches of war... Damien dug in the trenches of money... In the end... the greatest artist is right.

Barely one of Hirst's utterances make any sense, let alone stand up with any critical or insightful perceptive rigour. Both as an "artist" & as a man he is boring & dimwitted. Bacon at least was interesting as a man, even if his vision of humanity was debased

@c1magr8 whoah you again...

Hey Hirst, real fucking artist do their own fucking work! This jackass is like Warhole ... he hires people who do his work. A TOTAL FUCKKING FRAUD!!! Shut the fuck up!!! You are nothing but a wealthy leech & nothing fucking more!

Hirst = money money money.

This man is talking s**t about Bacon, I don't care if his art is good or bad, he doesn't understand what he's looking at.

Damien Hirst is definitely influenced by Francis Bacon, the series he did of skulls and shark jaws with withe dots and lines remind me of the Bacon lines in the paintings.
The 'triggers' are a good point too. To say that Damien Hirst is rubbish is in olde English " a load of cobblers me lord" because Hirst is creative. CREATIVITY and EXPERIMENTATION plus some talent helps. Some of Hirts's works the Shark Tanks...are a bit over the top, the For the love of God especially.

Let me spell things out for you then soniccage. The assertion that someone like Bacon "liked" something does not validate it as an exhibit in an art gallery. Francis Bacon also "liked" gambling and getting drunk. Is that to hard to understand?
