On May 8, 2019, yellow vests (Gilets Jaunes) protesters took care of the grave of Gustave Courbet in Ornans. Not far away from there, a former worker of a militant film collective, the Medvedkine groups, found Courbet’s work inspiring. But "we're not going to discuss painting, everyone takes what they want, I don't give a damn!”
