US EditionClimate Activist Throws Paint on Picasso Painting at Montreal Museum
- On Thursday morning, a climate activist from Last Generation Canada threw washable pink paint on Picasso's 1901 artwork L'Hétaire, which was displayed behind glass at the Montreal art museum.

- The painting was protected under glass, showed no immediate damage, and the exhibition temporarily closed before reopening at 11:30 a.m.
- Montreal police arrested a 21-year-old man on site for mischief under $5,000 and released him with a promise to appear in court later, while the museum expressed deep dismay.
- The activist group urges the Canadian government to establish a dedicated agency focused on supporting individuals impacted by severe climate-related events.
