Girl With A Pearl Earring By Johannes Vermeer
Girl with a pearl earring is an iconic oil painting by the painter Johannes Vermeer. A girl wearing a scarf on her head and one pearl earring.
She differs from Vermeer's other works. She seems generic, shy and uncomfortable wearing such an out of place, valuable pearl earring. Possibly about to speak, but forbidden. There is such interesting, soft light. The colours are gentle and compliment the irridesence of the pearl. Her skin colour is pale and blends with the soft blues and golds of her outfit.

Damien Hirst is a contemporary artist born in 1965 in the UK.
In his own words, his works explore complex relationships between art, religion, science, life and death. I particularly like the installation Lullaby Spring, a steel cabinet with a backing mirror containing individually painted pills. The clinical steel cabinet against the colourful pills is a great combination. What has society become? A population dependant on pills in order to feel and cope with the reality of this world? Lullaby Spring is part of a series of the Four Seasons artworks and is actually a celebration of renewed life. Damien Hirst came from a very modest and strict background. Art was his outlet. His career defining work is The physical impossibility of death in the mind of someone living. A huge tiger shark in formaldehyde in a large tank. He does like to
