Amazon Quiz: Anti-Oil protestors just threw soup at a painting of sunflowers in the National Gallery in London. Which artist’s work was targeted?

Options:

Vincent van Gogh

Andy Warhol

Pablo Picasso

Claude Monet

Answer- Vincent van Gogh

In a demonstration in London, two followers of an anti-oil protest movement dumped a can of tomato soup over one of the most priceless paintings in existence.

In front of Vincent Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, which they had covered in soup, the activists Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland then seemed to glue themselves to the wall of the UK National Gallery.

After the incident, Plummer, one of the protestors, asked, “What is worth more – art or life? Is it worth more than food? Worth more than justice? Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting or the protection of our planet and people?”

The activist associated with Just Stop Oil further added, “The cost-of-living crisis is part of the cost of oil crisis. Fuel is unaffordable for millions of cold, hungry families that can’t even afford to heat a tin of soup.”

One of the most well-known paintings in the National Gallery is The Sunflowers. The painting appears on cards, posters, mugs, tea towels, and stationery the most frequently. Additionally, it was the image of which Van Gogh was most proud.

While waiting for the arrival of his idol, the avant-garde painter Paul Gauguin, it was created during a remarkable period of ecstatic optimism.

The impassioned and lonesome Vincent had relocated to Arles in the South of France, where he dreamed of founding an artistic colony under the tutelage of Gauguin.
