Mystery Man Spraypaints Art at the National Gallery
A 57-year-old man “desecrated” Nicolas Poussin’s 16th century work The Adoration of the Golden Calf at the National Museum in London today. He spray-painted on some brown and “proudly” stood by his work, before being arrested. Then, he gave “some kind of explanation in French.”
Unlike recent art attacks of clearly controversial works or those accompanied by explanatory, raging screams about “lesbians” and “Jesus,” the motive here is unknown.

Makes as much sense as fucking up someone's building or bathroom or a public mailbox doesn't it? He can see the painting, so doesn't that give him the right to change it to his liking? This guy is clearly a misunderstood genius. Some brilliant gallery owner needs to "discover" him and host his debut show.
Oh Bill. You're soooo right. Thanks for finally convincing us how silly and bad graffiti is.
Performance piece.? Art installation or art inspiration.. destroy to create?? Created a buzz at least.
well that was rude. there is a rule in graf where if you dont get buffed after a certain period the piece is meant for forever.
