Vita gazette – Green vandalists still in action. This time it’s up to Monet to suffer the impetuosity of pro-climate activists. It was smeared with Claude Monet’s Les mules mashed potatoes.

Ten days have passed since the vandal raid against Vincent Van Gogh’s Sunflowers painting at the National Gallery in London. Today we learn of yet another attack perpetrated against a work of art by ecologists.

Two climate activists threw mashed potatoes at Claude Monet’s “Les Meules” and then glued themselves underneath the painting on Sunday. Museum Barberini in Potsdam, Germany, said on Twitter that the image was not damaged during the incident. However, last Generation, a climate activist group based in Germany, claimed responsibility for the action on Twitter. The group posted a video of the incident, showing the activists wearing high-visibility orange vests and flinging mashed potatoes on the work before glueing themselves to the wall beneath the painting.” If it takes a picture – with #MashedPotatoes or #TomatoSoup thrown at it – to make society remember that the fossil fuel course is killing us all: Then we’ll give you #MashedPotatoes on a painting!” the group tweeted.
