Guardian review of Damien Hirst

Two Parrots by Damien Hirst
This is the first paragraph of Jonathan Jones' review.  It gives you the flavour of the whole piece:

"The last time I saw paintings as deluded as Damien Hirst's latest works, the artist's name was Saif al-Islam Gaddafi. A decade ago the son of Libya's then still very much alive dictator showed sentimental paintings of desert scenes in an exhibition sponsored by fawning business allies. Searching for some kind of parallel to the arrogance and stupidity of Hirst's still life paintings, I find myself remembering that strange, sad spectacle."
