Environmental activists throw soup over van Gogh’s Sunflowers

London’s National Gallery says action caused ‘some minor damage to the frame but the painting is unharmed’.

I feel like a van Gogh painting was a poorly picked target but also think van Gogh himself would approve.

    This is like milkshaking. It's a symbolic assassination. It's proving that there are no defenses, and that anything treasured by chuds can be attacked.

      art is good, actually, and is treasured by more than just chuds. this is like stomping on a baby kitten because even fash like cute animals and saying "haha see we got you where it hurts"

      Eh. I dunno this seems like a very radlib / baby leftist thing to do that's more a psychological salve for the activists than any material benefit for climate activism. Like this is the kind of adventurism I can see myself doing when I was like 22.
