Gauguin Gets A Beating

Posted: 05 Apr 2011 04:32 AM PDT

It seems that bewbs, at least for one female visitor at Washington's National Gallery, are most definitely on the naughty list. A giant of Post-Impressionism, Gaugin's "Two Tahitian Women (Deux Tahitiennes)", which features one topless woman and another nip-slip was pulled down from the wall and beaten into submission by an infuriated visitor who takes art criticism to the enth degree. At this rate anything on show of any value is going to end up behind security glass, cordoned off and surrounded by security. Roll on holograms…

The painting is on loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and is part of a 120-piece Gauguin exhibit that opened at the National Gallery in late February. The exhibit, called "Gauguin: Maker of Myth," runs through June 5.
