A new publication from Other Criteria, the publishing company co-founded by (artist) Damien Hirst sees the artist's famous Psalm Paintings series comprehensively collected. Back in 2008, Damien Hirst created a series of 150 paintings using butterfly wings and household gloss paint. Each of the paintings took its title from the Book of Psalms, a section of the Hebrew Bible. The iridescent butterfly wings combine to create colorful kaleidoscopic patterns resembling stained glass windows. The new book features all of the paintings with the corresponding Psalm on the opposite page, printed on images of individually selected marble samples. The publication also features essays by Michael Bracewell and Amie Cory exploring the background of the artworks.
