A metal construction holds an electric motor which drives a knife on an arm. The knife jerks back and forth into the Rembrandt reproduction 'Man with the Golden Helmet'.
Norman Bates is a character in Hitchcock's 'Psycho' (which was inspired by the true story of Ed Gein). Rembrandt's work has been most attacked by art vandals with knives, fire and acid.
