Mentally Ill Woman Attacks Gauguin Painting for Being ”Very Homosexual”
Maybe it’s presumptuous to diagnose people over the internet, but what else can you say about someone who attempts to smash a painting, rip it off the wall, and then say the following to the authorities?
“I feel that Gauguin is evil,” Burns later told an investigator. “He has nudity and is bad for the children. He has two women in the painting and it’s very homosexual. I was trying to remove it. I think it should be burned. I am from the American CIA and I have a radio in my head. I am going to kill you.”
I’m kind of amused how the two women in the painting look like they’re going, “WTF is she doing?” It’s like Gauguin saw the future!
