Climate activists in Europe again splattered food at fine art in protest of fossil fuels. This time two activists splashed mashed potatoes on glass protecting a painting by 19th century French impressionist painter Oscar-Claude Monet at the Museum Barberini in Potsdam, Germany.
Members of Last Generation, a German climate activist group, took credit Sunday for the stunt, which did not damage the painting. “If it takes a painting – with #MashedPotatoes or #TomatoSoup thrown at it – to make society remember that the fossil fuel course is killing us all,” the group wrote on Twitter. “Then we’ll give you #MashedPotatoes on a painting!”
The incident comes a little over a week after two activists protesting fossil fuels in Britain went viral for splashing tomato soup on glass covering a Vincent Van Gogh painting at a museum. The activists then glued themselves to a wall.
