The painting by Paul Gauguin is called "Two Tahitian Women". It was on display as part of a special Gauguin exhibit.
The woman was arrested and charged with destruction of property and attempted theft. Now I am not sure why they would charge her with theft because clearly she did not like the piece enough to hang over her fireplace. I imagine she just wanted to smash it into a few hundred pieces there in the gallery.
The painting was to be examined today for damage. This was painted way back in 1899 so I hope she didn't rough it up too much.
After taking a look at the painting, I am not sure what she got so crabby about. Yes there are two women showing their breasts. Has she never been exposed ( exposed...get it? hehehe) to art before? How are boobies evil? I don't understand but clearly this woman was off her meds on Friday.
