On The Religiousness In Damien Hirst's Works

Before the rise of modern art,religion occupied a considerable proportion in the theme of art works.After Cézanne,the content of religious subjects in modern art works is getting smaller and smaller.Religion and art have been closely linked since the beginning of the birth.In the caves of Artemira,Spain,people painted buffalo in order to pray for the smooth hunting of the gods.The bronzes of the Shang Dynasty were also used in the ceremonies of the sacrifices,in the human civilization.In the process,religion used art repeatedly to expand its territory,and art also used religion to develop.With the evolution of civilization,people have different views on the doctrines,forms and institutions of religion.The 16 th century religious reform in Europe broke the system of church and state.Later,the Protestantism had a great impact on the traditional church,and the influence on art was also Very huge.This is an important milestone in the development of Europe.It has created a new form of life,a realistic secular encounter.The right to teach is no longer the only way to communicate with God.As long as there is faith in God,you can communicate with God.The establishment of new forms of religion has given people a new perspective on the ultimate polarity of the value and significance of life.Artists rarely create for the church.They put their beliefs behind the concept of artistic creation.The religious nature of this article is based on this background.As a representative and controversial figure in modern art,Damien Hirst is fascinated by the pursuit of death and the meaning of life.When I see a deeper meaning in the expression of Hurst's work,I will encounter the religious nature implicit in it.This article will describe the religious nature of Damien Hirst's work from three points.First,the definition of religion and religion in this article.Second,the three themes in Hearst's works are used to reflect the religious nature of his works.The third is to describe the influence of Hearst on my works and creative ideas.
