Target activist found a table of Picasso on display at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
Specifically, an activist threw a pink paint on the Picasso table that is fortunately covered by a protective glass in an attempt to draw attention to the climate crisis that strikes the planet.
Snapshots published on social media by the Last Generation Canada climate group show when protesters fly the color to portrait, a 1901 Pablo Picasso work entitled L’Hetaire. Then a demonstrator appears to be driven outside the Museum of Fine Arts by a member of the Security Personnel.
“Today, I do not attack art, nor do I destroy it. I protect it. Art, at its core, are illustrations of life. They are one of the living, for the living. There is no art on a dead planet, “said Marcel 21 -year -old Marcel arrested for his act.

In Canada, the heat wave affects the Saskatsan provinces and Manitoba. Canadian officials have warned that unusually warm and dry weather will aggravate the threat of fires this summer in the Canadian provinces.
“If I were in Winnipeg (Manitoba capital) right now, could I still create art?” Last Generation Canada reports. “Would I have the time, the energy, the resources? Or I would be very absorbed in a battle for my survival and prosperity, because my government refuses to protect its own people. “
Montreal police have confirmed to The Independent that the activist was arrested and later released to appear in court on a later date. The two people who filmed vandalism were arrested and released without charges, police said in a statement.
