Question

Formica tables and canvases made up part of an installation featuring these animals whose other section was named for paintings of these animals and ashtrays. The Tate Modern received criticism in 2012 for exhibiting the artwork In and Out of Love, where 9,000 of these animals were killed and displayed. (15[2])Damien (15[1])Hirst used these animals (15[1]-5[1])in several works, two of which rest below dragonflies in a painting where they symbolize “resurrection.” Failure to sell a painting of a woman wearing a kimono may have led an artist to adopt this animal as a (*) signature. Clips of these animals appear in Frida (10[1])Kahlo’s hair in Self Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird. A version of this animal with a large stinger was used by James Whistler as a monogram for many of his paintings. For 10 points, name these animals pinned on boards by (10[1])lepidopterists including the monarch. (10[2])■END■
