Pre-owned H9-7 Loyalty In Multi

Limited edition. 717/1067. This print from the Virtues series by Damien Hirst is titled Loyalty and depicts a cherry blossom tree rendered in thick impasto texture. Each print from the series - Justice, Courage, Mercy, Politeness, Honesty, Honour, Loyalty and Control - is named after The Eight Virtues of Bushidō as explained by Nitobe Inazō. Bushidō, the moral code of the samurai, along with cherry blossoms, are symbols of Japanese culture. Hirst captured the delicate cherry blossom using a gestural pointillist technique and by including a variety of punchier colors that seem to melt into the soft pinks of the iconic tree. Hirst's work can be found in the permanent collections of The Museum of Modern Art, The Tate Gallery, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among other art institutions. | H9-7 Loyalty in Blue/Pink, Oversize
