metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In connection with the recent exhibition of Damien Hirst in Venice, the general tendencies
  of turning to traditional forms of art in the most recent artistic culture are analyzed. In this
  context, Hirst’s later work is understood as an attempt to bring contemporary art to the conservative,
  museum perception of artistic value. The activity of Hirst as a cultural phenomenon
  is analyzed, offering comparative characteristics of his creative work. Along with fragments of
  critical articles from the international press, quotes of some leading Russian art critics are cited
  which confirm the significance of this artist even for a context with which he is not directly connected. Hirst’s exhibition in Venice is therefore perceived as a landmark event reflecting
  the inner aspiration of contemporary art and its public towards a traditional view of the art
  object. For all its apparent paradox and shock value, Hirst’s work interacts with the reaction of
  the “Cult of Beauty”, a trend increasingly asserting itself in contemporary culture.
