Manifesto: Art X Agency is comprised of over 100 works of artists who used manifestos to deal with the social and political battles of their lifetime. A manifesto is a published declaration which aims towards a viewpoint or truth through music, writing or art in a unique way. Usually related to fighting authority to spread a political and/or social message, this form of art captivates and ignites a wave of influence. Organized by the Hirshhorn’s Chief Curator Stéphane Aquin, the last day to see this great curation is on January 5th, 2020.
Featured artists: Jean Arp, Giacomo Balla, Alexander Calder, Salvador Dalí, Helen Frankenthaler, George Grosz, Hannah Höch, René Magritte, André Masson, Joan Miró, Joan Mitchell, Barnett Newman, Jackson Pollock and Tsuruko Yamazaki.
