However, many would probably be surprised to learn that today marks the hundredth anniversary of one of the most famous examples of such protest. Even when mass media was in its infancy, some people already understood how to use it, including an activist in Britain named Mary Richardson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On March 10, 1914, Richardson walked into London\u2019s National Gallery. On display that day was a painting by Diego Vel\u00e1zquez popularly known as the\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rokeby Venus<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. It is the only female nude Vel\u00e1zquez created that still survives today. When Richardson got close, she pulled out a meat cleaver and repeatedly began hacking,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/557766\/original\/file-20231106-27-tws6qm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;rect=98%2C714%2C5859%2C2929&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=1356&amp;h=668&amp;fit=crop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">creating a series of large slashes across the canvas<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. In a prewritten statement published in\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Times<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the following day, Richardson confessed that her actions were in support of the Women\u2019s Social and Political Union (WSPU), the leading women\u2019s suffrage organization in Britain. The fight for women\u2019s suffrage in Britain was far more turbulent than in the United States. American women\u2019s organizations prioritized respectability, while British suffragettes increasingly took part in direct action. When suffragettes were imprisoned for their protests, they often went on hunger strikes, leading to them being forced fed, a method now considered a form of torture by some medical bodies. By 1912, suffragettes began to protest more severely, initiating a campaign of bombings across the country; targeting government buildings, churches, and even private homes. They started by bombing the homes of three cabinet ministers as well as the Home Secretary\u2019s office. They also tried to set fire to the Theatre Royal in Dublin during a matin\u00e9e performance while Prime Minister H.H. Asquith was in attendance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Richardson\u2019s stunt caused the Royal Academy and the Tate Gallery to close temporarily. Women were not allowed to enter the British Museum unless a man accompanied them. Despite increased security, four months after the initial incident, another suffragette named Anne Hunt entered the National Portrait Gallery and used a cleaver to deface\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/collectionimages.npg.org.uk\/large\/mw01085\/Thomas-Carlyle.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">John Everett Millais\u2019s portrait of Thomas Carlyle<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While Richardson damaged the Vel\u00e1zquez to draw attention to the women\u2019s suffrage movement in general, the act was likely provoked by the recent arrest of WSPU founder Emmeline Pankhurst the day before. Richardson wrote, \u201cI have tried to destroy the picture of the most beautiful woman in mythological history as a protest against the Government for destroying Mrs. Pankhurst, who is the most beautiful character in modern history.\u201d Richardson was branded in the newspapers as \u201cSlasher Mary\u201d. Activists in Britain seem to remember the <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rokeby Venus<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0as a symbol of protest. Just this past November, as Mary Richardson had done, climate protestors entered the National Gallery and used hammers\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/art\/news\/just-stop-oil-national-gallery-painting-b2442404.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">to smash the layer of protective glass covering the\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rokeby Venus<\/span><\/em><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Just Stop Oil, the organization responsible for many of these recent incidents, wrote in a statement, \u201cPolitics is failing us. It failed women in 1914, and it is failing us now.\u201d Writing for\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Forbes<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, Alexandra Bregman astutely observed the connection between today\u2019s climate activists and the suffragettes of a century ago. She also offered a degree of uncertainty about the effectiveness of these tactics: \u201cWhether the splashers of today will implement the same progress as the slashers of yesterday remains to be seen, but their place in history will never be forgotten.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the dozens of climate protests at museums over the past several years, many are inclined to see activists\u2019 vandalism of prominent artworks as a fairly modern concept.
