This will leave a bad impression.
An environmental protester was arrested for slapping a sticker over famed painter Claude Monet’s “Poppy Fields” at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.
The woman covered most of the piece with a sticky, blood-red sign depicting the same exact scene post-apocalypse.
The activist was with the group Riposte Alimentaire, French for “Food Response,” which has been targeting artworks in an attempt to draw attention to the threat of climate change on food supplies.
The group said the sticker is supposed to show a “nightmare version” of the field in 2100, “ravaged by flames and drought,” if action isn’t taken against climate change.
