| "With Dead Head was photographed while Damien Hirst was a 16-year-old student. During a trip to a mortuary to study anatomy, the young artist came across the severed head of a cadaver and produced his own update on the traditional art-historical theme of the 'memento mori' (literally, 'remember, you die'). While Hirst appears to be sharing a joke with this severed head, neither are laughing. As the artist later explained, 'my eyes look like I'm laughing but actually I'm terrified. I'm expecting the eyes on that head to open, for the head to fly at my neck. I'm thinking 'Quick! Quick! Get this shot over with'." |

- Miami Mike Hey! That's grampa! - GiveItBACK! I thought they buried Kruschev - jimmy hoffa Splish-splash-splish-splash..... Hey look! I'm John the Baptist. - Mark-o I was wrong to waste the word "creepy" on that horrid photo of the (yes, I missed it) sweet moment shared by that UK couple. But this ... now this is CREEPY. - Scott ok...cuddlin with dead guys...i'd sure pay $1,000 for that - silent bob Sick photographer, sick models, sick buyers, sick mother who gave birth to Damien. - Anything for money 16 year old boy gettin' head ??...That's PORN fer shure !! - Chicken Likken Sometimes folks gotta Vote twice it's disgusting But it's still art - Haikuku This is sick. 1000 signed images @ $1000 each = $1,000,000? Anybody care to speculate what cut (sorry) of this million bucks the cadaver's family will get? If it were my family I'd sue the little punk artist wannabee. Cadavers are a precious donation for research and education. Rename this image, "Greed lives." - ex-anatomy student Damien rescues Alfred Hitchcock's face and lets the rest of him freeze in hell. - sick6ster Which twin has the Toni? - Bill Cullen |
