In a controversial incident that has shocked the art world, two women were arrested on Monday for defacing a 19th-century painting by Gustave Courbet with the words "MeToo". The painting, known as "The Origin of the World", depicts a woman's vagina and was on display at the Centre Pompidou in Metz as part of a larger exhibition focused on the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. The artwork had been on loan from the Musee d'Orsay in Paris.
