As occasionally happens, a museum-goer who strongly disapproved of a piece of art attempted to attack it, this time with Paul Gaugin's Two Tahitian Women. When she failed to pull it off the wall, and then failed to damage it by punching it, she was apprehended, and gave a statement to police about her motives:
I feel that Gaugin is evil. 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.
Explanation gets a lot more interesting towards the end there.
