Two activists targeted the Mona Lisa at the Louvre in Paris to highlight food insecurity in France. The 16th-century masterpiece is shielded by bulletproof glass, so no damage was done. This attack is not unprecedented, as the painting has been stolen and defaced in the past. These attacks on high-value paintings may be seen as postmodern performance art, but they raise the question of what we remember: food insecurity or the bold strokes of a soup-smeared glass above Mona.
