The Plumed Hat, 1919 by Henri Matisse, oil on canvas.

Remember the woman who went berzerk on Paul Gauguin’s “Two Tahitian Women” inside the National Gallery of Art in April, then claimed that Gauguin was “evil,” that the work is “very homosexual,” and that she was given instructions by “a radio in [her] head” controlled by “the American CIA” to burn the painting? Yeah, she came back to the gallery last week and went after a work by Henri Matisse:

According to police, Susan Burns, 53, last Friday afternoon entered the National Gallery and walked over to “The Plumed Hat,” a Matisse oil painting “valued at 2.5 million dollars.” She then “grabbed both sides of the frame holding said painting,” which measures 18 ¾” x 15″.

In full view of a museum surveillance camera, Burns then “slammed the painting against the wall three times, damaging the antique original frame of the painting,” according to an arrest affidavit sworn by police Lieutenant Dexter Moten. “No damage to the painting itself was immediately apparent,” Moten reported.

Court records do not disclose why Burns attacked the Matisse, which is seen above. She was charged with contempt, unlawful entry, destroying property, and attempted theft.

The Smoking Gun reports that in light of the latest incident, Burns has been transferred to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital and is currently under observation.
