"Art or life?" Climate protesters douse Vincent van Gogh painting with tomato soup

- “What is worth more, art or life?” asked one of two climate protesters who threw tomato soup at Vincent van Gogh‘s "Sunflowers" painting at the National Gallery in London, England, on Friday.
The young activists from Just Stop Oil, a U.K.-based climate campaign group, threw the canned soup over the painting, which is protected by glass, and glued their hands to the wall underneath the iconic artwork.
Spectators in the room were audibly shocked by the display, with some in the gallery calling for security. As one held the empty can of soup in her hand, the other questioned if the van Gogh painting is “worth more than food? More than justice?”

She mad about art while she has:
1. Hair dye
2. Acrylic nails
3. Lipstick
4. Eye shadow
5. All wool and polyester clothes
6. Wastes food
7. Uses toxic super glue
I bet she doesn't even realize that crap and her clothing were made with machines using oil
Yes. What is the carbon footprint of these two wokeists? Their clothing is probably made in sweat shops by 16 year olds in China.
sure hope she walked, and didn't drive, or take transit.
@Zero Hero wow can't believe people responded to my comment within minuets

The arrogance of taking it upon yourself to deface a priceless work of art in protest of something totally unrelated
Your comment has to be the best yet!
Wont be able to enjoy art if the earth is submerged under boiling seas. Maybe our privilege lets us think of these things as unrelated. Art is meaningless if humanity is not around to give it meaning cause we all died in a climate disaster you know. No painting is worth the lives of all bio diversity on earth. If you’re more upset about the painting being ruined then you should really read the UNs climate report because all painting will soon be ruined if we don’t take radical action do you understand?
yup, looks like they've mastered the 'art' of it all.
And climate change is a scam
It wasn’t really defaced all those works of art are behind bulletproof glass.
“It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures”
-Vincent Van Gogh
The chance is Van Gogh will be upset if he found out that many of his works is treated as money investment for the most rich. He died because simular people to who owns his work now - were blind to his art while he was alive and didn't help him. He was feeling as a burden to his brother because of it. In his art - he was praising the rejected ones, the hard workers, the ordinary people, the nature. Never the people with power, never the rich. If he was alive today he would definitely protest against consumerism and the destruction of the nature and against the Western super rich companies that exploit Africa and other parts of the World, and against the unequal system where the top 1% owns everything.
Van Gogh thought sunflowers were creepy because they move their heads to follow the sun.
@@CharlieApples wat? Kek
Lies again? Art Of Sex
Admit it. You wanted a place in history. And since you can't create priceless art of your own, you chose to position yourself in an event related to a priceless work.
it was one of Van Goghs crappier sunflowers paintings. I dont think it was a big loss that they destroyed it.
imagine ruining historic art to fuel your political rage against oils you use in your every day makeups, hair dye etc
These kids are clueless
She didn't look like she used oil-based makeup. or any makeup. The tomato soup was necessary to get attention otherwise you nor anyone else on the internet would have seen this. Right?
@@jamesryan7684 Its the wrong type of attention. Do something cool, Dont destroy art.
@@201bob They didn't destroy the art. Tomato soup? LOL. They did some thinking beforehand.
These are Marxists and part of their goal is to destroy the four Olds: Old Ideas, Old Traditions, Old Structures and Old Religions. Destroying this art is a spiritual perogative for them.
There’s family’s that can’t even afford a can of soup so we threw two cans at a painting by an artist that isn’t responsible for the current situation we’re protesting…
Yes. Two needy children could have eaten the cans of soup if they were donated to a food bank.
Welllll... it was an oil painting lol
😂
This was their art.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they both came from rich families.

@Charchar Accents are not indicators of wealth.
@@angeladelnegro8158 by rich he dosen't mean the 2.7% of European Millionaires or the 1% of American Millionaires, he means people that never struggled with money, never worried if they would be able to afford food or a roof over thier head, rich people exist and are often tone deaf nieve and entitled, the people in this video are also tone deaf nieve and entitled. For people to to aid in your cause they have to LIKE you, vandalizing museums and gluing yourself to walls will only annoy people and make them NOT want to be apart of your cause, what they are doing is hurting thier cause because the majority of people don't like them and find them annoying
You can protect art and life. You can love art and nature y'all. Stop messing with masterpieces. One day it will go badly and irreversible damage will happen...art nourishes human conscience, human dignity and hope. Van Gogh and Constable two of the greatest painters of nature...I started loving trees and paying attention to them after seeing Van Gogh reproductions. You really are aiming at the wrong target here kids...
They are aiming at the wealthy that have all they want and could care less about how hungry and neglected half the world is or whether anthropomorphic climate change will make all survival situations worse after they are dead and buried in a solid gold coffin. (metaphore)
You just proved their point. You're more upset about a painting potentially being ruined than you are about the planet being livable for humans.
@@m.collier708 🤡
@@m.collier708 Thats a terrible point… Basically you’re saying its an excuse to act like a complete degenerate… Like… I’m gonna rob this store in the name of climate change… I’m gonna beat the piss out of this person, for not agreeing with my Far-Left ideologies, and get away with it… “In the name of Climate Change!” … 🤦🏻♂… Thats a very dangerous way of thinking… Especially because of the fact, that Climate Change is just an excuse to Tax us into Oblivion, with unnecessary Carbon Taxes, that the Leftists stuff their pockets with.
@@m.collier708 I'm upset about both, friend. I don't trust people that seems to be okay with attacking art for the same reason i don't trust people that make it okay to destroy nature. Both are not okay. The fact that nature is being destroyed doesn't excuse attacks on masterpieces like the Van Gogh painting. And i am very worried about escalation. First it was only gluing to the frames and now we're talking about direct attack...what's next? stabbing? acid? pick axing a Rodin sculpture? this ain't cool. The masterworks belongs to all of humanity. No one has the right to brutalize them for publicity, no matter for what cause.
Imagine buying into a lie so strongly that you would do something this stupid. Throw them in jail.
Juvenile detention and no wifi access. That will teach them. :P
In the old days before cell phone cameras we would just walk them out the back door and hope they didn't "slip and fall".
Ooooh take their phones away, that would drive to self-deletion I'm sure. They can't function without that.
I don't believe you any more than I believe them. The Far Left/ Right are all monstrous liars. There is no way to know the truth about global warming with everyone lying. Life on Earth has survived far worse than what could be happening now---Snowball Earth, astroid impacts, etc. So what if humans become extinct. When you destroy everything good and beautiful about humanity, there's nothing left worth saving.
@@83056 For trying to destroy a priceless art work for posterity? Life in jail is what they deserve.
I still don’t know how they didn’t get arrested and sent to jail for a very long time.
"people can't afford to heat their soup so let's stop oil". tell me again how banning oil will help people heat their soup?
They explained that clearly, and yet you didn't listen... again.
@@jamesryan7684 I don't listen to criminals.
@@jamesryan7684 so the rising price means we have to ban it?
they can't warm the soup if they can't heat the house so all oil paintings must be destroyed. Duh
@@jamesryan7684 Did they explain why they are letting China, the #1 emitter of CO2 in the world for the last 17 years in a row, off the hook?
This made me feel sick. Fighting for what they believe in has empowered them to act to destroy a beautiful creation that reflects the very planetary life they say they want to protect. These are deeply disturbed and misguided young people.
"destroy"?
It takes literal seconds to wipe the glass
It was chosen specifically because VVG loved nature. It's almost as if it would make sense if you bothered to listen to what they said
True evil is not an act committed out of malevolence, but one committed out of misplaced benevolence. It's an evil that is committed "for our own good." That is the worst kind. It is the most destructive.
They didn't destroy it. Overreaction much?
@@jamesryan7684 I'd have been more impressed had these protestors thrown soup at the walls of the nearest Chinese embassy, seeing as China is the #1 emitter of CO2 in the world for the last 17 years in a row.
I hope they enjoy life in prison without any internet, smart phones, Starbucks or video games.
So the journalists were already prepared for the show?
Interesting- Who is generously sponsoring all this madness?
Wasting soup while saying that families suffer from starvation... wow
What the hell did Vincent do to warrant that?
He loved nature and is often talked about which makes it a perfect candidate
People wouldn't be here if it was a random

it is amazing how little i care about their message.
This is why silly kids and serious issues dont mix
You are absolutely right 😡😏
Shut up boomer
You're missing the point. People in the comments are so angry about what these activists did without understanding that this proves their point. People will get mad over a painting (That's covered by glass btw) but not get mad over the fact that millions of people are suffering from the impacts of climate change caused by fossil fuel companies.
u right
@@AUG_XZABER they can destroy something else,,, not old art. master piece. stupid fk kids
It would be funny if they just left them there with their hands glued to the wall
To starve, or rip their own skin off. Totally should have. People can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences of reality.
i've never had much interest in galleries and such, a photo of a picture is good enough for me, but I would totally stand in line to get a chance to laugh at these idiots glued to a wall
...and then we could all take turns beating them with rubber hoses.
Ah ha! It would be another masterpiece of art!
now that would e a masterpiece🤣
Kids living in their parents' basement douse glass with tomato soup. Fixed that for you global news.
Art or THEIR lives? Art. Definitely art
ahh yes. Throwing tomato soup at a Vincent van Gogh painting. Honestly, a bone-shaking attempt at getting back at big oil corporations guys.
@J Powzy Yes, I do care about the attempt to damage property valued at close to $100 million dollars, and only idiots do not realize that oil and gas are absolutely needed at this point in our development.
You are on the internet talking about it, cool guy
@J Powzy Yes. The planet will be fine.
It'll rock them to their core. Lmao 🤣 they won't be able to sleep at night.
Missed the point entirely if you think the idea is to "get back" at anyone
Call parents and make them pay for expenses and compensation.
It was protected by glass thankfully
Well, yes. A little jail time might do wonders for their complexions.
@@burleybater Yes. Six months without Starbucks and McDonald's or their cellphones and internet will be cruel punishment.
Yup. Unless if the parents already disowned that kid then they shouldn’t have to pay.
@@scottbrandon6244 Well it certainly ranks as eco-terrorism.
I don't know, I can't quite wrap my head around the idea that a person who has not escaped from 30 completely demented years in a maximum security mental asylum would take out a Van Gogh like that. With obviously no idea whatsoever, how precious it is. That the guy suffered for his art and left us that human legacy, and two twits come along and so self-importantly, "borrow" from his legacy for their 1, 297, 345th-rate play. It should hardly rank above the latest weasel attack in a local chicken house, but there it is.
Should this ruin their young lives? I don't know.
It was an original, after all.
Let's just say, that if this case rose in the ranks of pop culture, their names might forever be known, unto a ripe old death, as the ones who savaged Van Gogh, the way that they did. The bullies. But that only works with the ones who actually care. There is no precedent. Ripping up the original manuscript of Beethoven's Ninth? Burning the very first of the first edition of Martin Luther's epiphany? Dynamiting Michelangelo's David? Even of these three, the Beethoven example is lukewarm and tepid, at best. Because there must be some hundreds of dozens of decent conductors in the world who have indeed, memorized to a fault, how the thing goes from first note to last, and can produce an almost perfect rendition upon demand.
But an original is still an original.
One might wonder even. In this straitened and anxious time, can a serious panel of art maestros and experts commission a person somewhere with a brush who might be capable of a 97 or 98% authentic copy? Except we'd all know. And that kills the sport, the fun, the meaning, and most of the rest of it. The damned thing would live in infamy anyhow. If not out and out contempt.
Will we now see disclaimers and postings in all art galleries where classics hang? Do this again and go directly from here to a maximum security asylum for a period no less than ten years, with no hope of parole or forgiveness. And by the time you get out, you will be batshit crazy. We guarantee it. You are hereby informed of the real risk of trading your sanity (questionable) for a moment's release of self-inflated righteous crime.
A crime which is (arguably) against humanity, after which whomsoever actually owns the canvas can possibly claim reparation.
One might wonder though.
Was Vincent himself ever in such a mood or state wherein he himself might have been tempted to pull such a stunt? I mean, he certainly owned the right.
Well I can speculate. You see, I was named after him. So I've sort of dwelled in that place for quite awhile now, although that doesn't give me a leg up even on the most average desultory art student, let alone those in the world who truly love him for his work.
For me the work was always easy to love.
Getting next to or too close to the man himself always made me feel a little too claustrophobic. Easier to cozy up to a Hendrix solo, or even a Dustin Hoffman command performance, than contemplate that languishing deep in the south of France. Although I've read and re-read Letters to Theo. Just for something a little beyond common curiosity.
In answer to the question of one of the climate protestors: ("What is art without life?")
What is life without art? But more to the point, what is life without delving as deep into the struggle of humanity, its history and its production of expression, compared to some act of love for a planet that does not care about us, is not cognizant or aware of us, is easily prepared to cleanse itself, renew itself and have another crack at a very long and drawn evolution all over again, long after we're all gone? How then will their memories fade into an oblivion that eclipses them and their action? George Carlin, in a magnificent moment, said it best.
Of course lovers of the muse and the the masterpiece love to imagine works as immortal beings. Alive with purpose. It soothes something in the collective zeitgeist, no doubt.
To sum up and get the hell out and away - life without art is dangerously close to the game these two play, I'll be bound. The types who don't laugh at comedy because they can't.
And yet better rogues and rivals than they - could have told them that the human comedy is as native to our purpose as the most righteous of our "causes."
And for damned good reasons. Weeping and howling with mirth dance a vital dance together that is never more than a moment's understanding away.
Hey Global, where’s all the coverage on the Dutch farmer protests? The media went dead silent on this one- as atrocious and absurd as this is, there is ‘much’ bigger news to report on. I’m just wondering why there’s a media blackout on this story of the Dutch farmer protests.
Thanks.
publicly executing an oil executive would be 1000x more effective than whatever this is
why did they waste the soup cans if theres a food shortage?
they want exposure
They just wanted attentions because they think they're better than everyone
Disgusting what they did especially since Van Gogh was a struggling artist in his entire short life and loved nature. Seriously what idiots they are if they just had to do something like this why choose this painting of all things due to all those aforementioned reasons. It doesn’t get their point across at all. In fact people are only talking about what they did to the painting instead of what they were protesting. It’s a good thing the painting was protected by glass since if it wasn’t that would have been really terrible.
yeah he loved nature, it's perfect
That's why it's the perfect painting for the message they want to send, did you even listen to what they were saying?
@@despres380 What’s that supposed to mean? Are you agreeing with what they did? Van Gogh would disgusted if he were alive to see this happening to his painting.

How does destroying a beautiful piece of artwork make anyone want to join their "cause"??!!
what a waste of perfectly good tomato soup..
Well you know the one with Kool-Aid in her hair was batshit crazy to begin with.
Did she really bring up the point of "They can't even afford to eat a tin of soup" right after wasting two cans of soup? Just donate rather than wasting it 💀
I appreciated this Van Gogh work in Tokyo. It was a wonderful photo of sunflowers full of light. I will never support the frivolous people who ruined this picture.

how much oil does nascar go through a year? and yea, stuff like shipping still needs it but do people going to the store or go see a movie? There are alternatives.

this makes me sick. why, what did Vincent van Gogh do to deserve this? he wasn't an oil tycoon.
See, the chance is Van Gogh will be very upset if he found out that many of his works is treated as money investment for the super rich. He died because simular people to who owns his work now - were blind to his art while he was alive and didn't help him. He was feeling as a burden to his brother because of it.

So their solution to people not being able to afford a can of soup is to ban oil, which will cause the soup's price to go up and make it even more unaffordable? Not to mention that wasting food as a form of protest while talking about world hunger seems contradictory. Hmmmm .....

Only a matter of time before they do destroy something priceless. This isn't the first one of these attacks.
Tomatos are acidic. This stunt DID cause damage.
These "people" are losers that cant protest right so they have to cause damage to things they will never come close in being able to produce to get attention.
They have a point, but they are not explaining it properly, what they did there is vandalism not a protest. If they had set up a protest outside with information on the cost to store those paintings compared to heating homes, they might get some real results, but this is just seen as vandalism.

Hopefully they walked to the museum.

Exactly.

I can't tell what more amazing, the schizophrenic reasoning that lead to this happening or the fact it actually happened.
Art...without a doubt. Life without Art is desolate....
if anyone did the same act to something they cherish it would be a hate crime.
few weeks later we will see them again. in court going to prison.
I don't think it will happen
They never get to be accountable for any of the destruction of property they have caused around the world.i wish they were but it never happened.
There is so much wrong with this (I have 6 basic points), not just from a legal standpoint but also from a strategic standpoint, radical attention isn't enough for a cause to be successful:
1) art vs life is a very weird argument to make, there are far more impactful ones
2) why vandalize an artist that often painted nature? If you were going for a "nature destroyed" angle you failed because all people see is YOU destroying nature
3) pretty hypocritical talking about food and people being hungry while wasting food, should have done red paint and said it was soup instead of using ACTUAL tomato soup
4) nobody takes kids seriously for better or for worse, some kids can be very mature and smart about dark subjects emphasis on "SOME"
5) by vandalizing and yelling, all you're going to do is annoy people, they'll hear you but they won't listen, you are actively PUSHING people away because you don't know how people work
6) you got people's attention, now what? You do it again? WHAT'S OUR END GOAL HERE? This is the 3rd time I'm aware they've done this but I've yet to see the organization do any POSITIVE change. What's the point in being an activist if the only thing you are doing is actively pushing ppl away, the only people in your side are other environmentalists but even then all the ones I've seen on Twitter, Instagram, and Tik Tok, don't like you
Do. Better.
If we suddenly stop oil and gas use, or prevent more leases, WAY more people will go hungry and it will take MUCH longer to develop clean energy.
bro i could have eaten that tomato soup!
The press was obviously aware of what was going to happen. The security guards and police must have allowed it to happen. Sickening.
Sickening? Losing a painting is nothing compared to the damages from continuing to build pipelines in a climate emergency.

Don't blame the young, this is the older generations that taught and raise them, voted to create tens of millions of broken homes and removed strong disciplinary men at home as fathers and as teachers in schools. You sow what you reap, now reap the whirlwind. "A father who does not discipline his child with the rod does not love him" Book of wisdom
So... The protecting of a painting makes one unable to protect.... Other stuff?
They just inspired me to rush out and buy a V8. Thank you.
Should make it a v10 :)
She’s more concerned about her appearance than about starving people. And they just wasted soup.
Am I the only one who's totally upset that the other one didn't tuck the sharp lid back into the can? That looks so dangerous! eeeek
50 years in the future while they are sitting with their grandkids:
Grandkids: Grandma what did you do to help the environment?
Grandma: I threw a tomato soup at a painting
Grandkids:
😶
Yeah and brought some attention to the crisis. What have you done?
I don't think they will have kids as they will speed the climate change.🙃
And filmed it with a device made of plastic and rare earth metals, which is manufactured by barely paid workers in a country that emits the most pollution on Earth.
@@thedevilsadvodkate Spoiled brats protesting oil by using plastic backpacks and plastic printed on their shirts. All they did was bring attention to their low IQs.
"Let's protest wasteful human consumption by wasting a product that requires fossil fuels to harvest, produce, and ship. That'll show'em!"
what grandkids
Imagine if someone just waltzed into your home while you were reading a book, and yelled at your face for supporting the use of paper because it comes from trees... would you be fine with that? Having to express an important message in protest doesn't mean there are lines you could cross.
They didn't go into anyone's home. It's more comparable to burning down a library.
(If we're talking about books)
I hope they get punished bad ! What is the point of destroying art that is nothing to do with it
What the heck did I just watch? Damn this world just keeps getting crazier by the day
I hope we get to see them behind bars too.
this is why you keep kids in school and off drugs .
They do this because they know that there will be no consequences for them.
I hope those idiots are sued.
yup and jail
not surprised at all. just by looking at those two. you can tell what type of mind set they have.
They vandalized the picture. Now, they can pay to restore the picture. Put them in jail. Restore the painting cost a great amount of money the National Gallery can make them to pay the damage for the valuable painting. Protesting, they should put gasoline and a flame in themselves to protest in your hair color, nails and clothes and your ugly t-shirt.
this is why i daily drive a hellcat.
Lock them up and bury the key.
Nothing says democracy like locking up protesters.
I hope these two are studying towards discovering a usable form of fusion.
Likely they will just continue to glue body parts to things though.
Just like MLK Jr wrote laws that protected black people from unjust persecution, right? Oohh wait... no he just made speeches that changed the course of history.
Braindead commentary from a classic RUclips section
😂
Fusion is a pipe dream. It's never going to happen.
Fission, however, is something we know how to do it already.
@@primmakinsofis614 I am waiting for Mr. Fusion from back to the future. Throw in a couple bananas and a pop can and away you go!
Gender studies Fo sURe
Media was there pretty quick
Shoulda left them stuck to the wall. See how long they last.
They inspired me! I'm going to run my lawn mower 24/7 for a month!
The drama being the painting is behind a sheet of glass, yet it isn't reported.
The point is that they tried to ruin a historic work of art for social media attention. Its gone from pathetic to a problem.
Indeed
@@Zfickoff they targeted a glassed artwork. They knew what they were doing.
@@thedevilsadvodkate Some burglars targeted an alarmed house too, they all knew what they are doing - Crime.
Im just mad that they wasted 2 cans of soup that she says people cant afford, this feels more like a demonstration of she has money waste on soup by throwing on a glassed or not glassed painting, while the people she advocating for have 2 less cans of soup they wont be eating
Comical. Two spoiled brats glue themselves to the wall with oil based adhesive . Throw them in jail of 6 months and force their parents to pay for the restoration of a national treasure.
Someone hungry could have eaten that soup. What a travesty!
Who is teaching these kids now a days?
