Morrissey isn’t into the artworks of Damien Hirst, and he let Interview Magazine know it.

Hirst is famous for using dead animals preserved in formaldehyde for his…masterpieces.

Yeah, it all sounds so breathtaking.

Morrissey had nothing but good things to say about Hirst, including the fact that Hirst should have his head “kept in a bag” for the way he uses dead animals.

According to Contact Music, Morrissey said, “I dislike the ‘use’ of animals in art, such as in the work of Damien Hirst… Dead butterflies, cows, horses, humans, sheep and sharks – it reads like the inventory of a funerary Noah. How many halved calves suspended in formaldehyde does the world need? To my way of thinking, none.”

Hirst should leave the preserving to Smuckers, right?

Damien Hirst Gives Up Dead Animals For Paintbrush

Damien Hirst, the artist famous for featuring art that consisted of dead animals preserved in formaldehyde has announced he’s no longer as morbid and will start painting instead.

Apparently, dear old Damien used to be embarrassed by his paintings, so he hid behind 20 feet tall chemically preserved mammals-some of which were dissected- instead.

Compensation works so strangely.

“It felt awful for two years,” Damien said. “The paintings were embarrassing and I didn’t want anyone to come in.

“I thought if I die now, people are going to find these paintings and it’s going to be horrible.”

He still thinks his paintings won’t be received well by critics, but at least he’ll shock average people and that’s a good thing.

“People are not shocked by animals in formaldehyde any more, but they’re shocked that you’re picking up a brush and a canvas and going backwards.”
