This spring, the Smithsonian American Art Museum presents two exhibitions that probe how American art and America today were shaped by Vietnam. “Artists Respond: American Art and the Vietnam War, 1965–1975” examines how the Vietnam War changed American Art. The exhibition brings together nearly 100 works by 58 of the most visionary and provocative artists of the period to make vivid an era in which artists endeavored to respond to the turbulent times and openly questioned issues central to American civic life. It is organized by Melissa Ho, curator of 20th-century art.
“Tiffany Chung: Vietnam, Past Is Prologue” probes the legacies of the Vietnam War and its aftermath through maps, videos and paintings that highlight the voices and stories of former Vietnamese refugees. The exhibition includes new work commissioned by the museum. It is organized by Sarah Newman, the James Dicke Curator of Contemporary Art.
