From Graham White in the UK:
Sybilla Keitel is a German artist who created this wonderful parody of a very famous German painting called “A Sunday Afternoon Walk in the Country” by Carl Spitzweg.
Parody of “A Sunday Afternoon Walk in the Country” by Sybilia Keitel
This was made into a very large banner for the demonstration that was held in Berlin a few weeks ago – and it was very, very effective at putting the message across.

Science is doing its best, but for every honest, independent scientist that we produce, Bayer and Syngenta produce two ‘tame’ scientists who simply dismiss everything we say.
It is time to get the artists involved: writers, painters, graphic designers, photographers, playwrights, musicians, actors. We need another hundred pictures like this from every country in the world – to put across the truth of what is going on.
Please have a think about this and pass this to any of your friends who are artists.
