There are two young girls in the UK who claim to be environmentalists. In order to protest the British government’s oil policy, they walked into the National Gallery, opened a can of tomato soup, and poured red soup on Van Gogh’s masterpiece “Sunflowers”.
If Van Gogh knew about it, he would be very depressed. He really didn’t know what the sunflower he painted had to do with Britain’s oil policy, and why it was targeted by environmentalists. He always thought he was a lunatic, but it turned out that more than a hundred years after his death, he became a normal person attacked by lunatics.
A friend in the art world said that fortunately, the washable tomato soup was poured on “Sunflower”. If oil was poured, Van Gogh’s masterpiece would be finished. I said yes, it can be seen that although the two environmentalists seem to be radical, their minds are not completely confused, and they also know that grandstanding cannot commit too much crime. If they really splash oil, the crime and punishment will be much heavier. But precisely because of this, it shows that the revolutionary consciousness of these two girls is not thorough enough, and they still have selfish intentions to engage in revolution. Such “revolutionaries” may turn out to be fake revolutions in the limelight. Fake revolutions are often more emotional than real revolutions, and they are over-performed, but they may be as meticulous as dust. Therefore, although Van Gogh was unfortunate, he was fortunate in his misfortune that he did not meet a true revolutionist who was determined.
A few days ago, a man dressed as an old woman threw a cake at Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” at the Louvre Museum in Paris, which did not cause any damage to the famous painting, but successfully achieved the purpose of grandstanding. Now it’s Van Gogh’s turn to achieve the same goal. After having this “successful case”, at least in the near future, if there is any appeal of the dog or the cat, I will probably consider finding a world famous painting to help the boxing.
