Has anyone seen the programme on BBC2 last night - Ugly beauty.
I thought that I was going to be treated with master pieces with ugly subjects.
After 5 minutes, I could not take anymore !
Damien Hirst was explaining in great details his way to view beauty :
On a wall was displayed one of his canvas (coloured dots)
Nothing new there, I have seen better painting by Mondrian, view some of his work :

So in front of this painting, in a huge class compartment was the head of a dead cow surrounded by maggots and HUNDREDS of flies, all alive of course.
So sick !
How on earth can BBC entertain us with such rubbish is behond me.
Might as well go outside, look at what the dogs leave behind them and call it beauty !
