Description

Darwins Idea, Evolution through natural selection, actually explains the meaning of life; it is the biggest single idea ever, its breadth and scope enormous, its means so perfectly economic, its capacity to shock and excite persist, to this day.

'Such emotion and passion over a search for essential truth are also the substance of art, such belief and relevance it goals. The myriad ways of understanding and expressing the beauty of life are a constant inspiration.

'There's an infinite number of ways to get to the same point.'

Damien Hirst, 2009
