Lady Gaga plants lipstick smile on 'Mona Lisa' in Louvre clip
Raw StoryLady Gaga comes face to face with the "Mona Lisa" in the Louvre and plants a lipstick smile on her face in a new video clip released Wednesday by the singer and the French museum. The American diva who stars in the new "Joker" movie, channelled her Harley Quinn character to do a little bit of lipstick "vandalism" to Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece to promote the Louvre's new exhibition, "Figures of the Fool", which like the movie, opens next month. Rapper and producer Will.i.am famously put himself into some of the museum's best known paintings for his 2016 animated video for "Mona Lisa Smile", including taking the reins of Napoleon's white charger. Two years later Beyonce and Jay-Z filmed their clip "Apeshit", using Gericault's iconic "The Raft of the Medusa", the "Mona Lisa" and the coronation of Napoleon to make some pithy points about black people's place, and the lack of it, in classical art history.
