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.

    Its young people just trying to get cameras on them and headlines written about them because they think any publicity will raise awareness and so the more the better.

    The logic behind this is similar to the logic behind spree killings. Young people are incapable of even imagining politics solving problems so they just think up something subversive to do to vent their anger and say it’s in response to x or y issue. https://nitter.it/butleriano/status/1580920740005543936#m
