Life Immitating Art

Picasso: Painting titled Guernica
A piece painted by the late artist Picasso in 1929 was vandalized according to a local news channel in Houston, Texas on Monday. 

The piece was spray painted with the words, "Conquista la Bestia." According to reports, "The piece, which was painted by Picasso in 1929, was rushed to restoration conservation, and the vandal's paint was successfully removed. The Menil is working with police on the investigation."

Perhaps it was an attempt by the vandal to suggest that life imitates art and that living meant making a mark of their own.  For this and other news please go to the following link:
