This powerful book showcases how American artists responded to the war, spanning the period from Lyndon B. Johnson's fateful decision to deploy U.S. Marines to South Vietnam in 1965 to the fall of Saigon ten years later. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eArtists Respond\u003c\/i\u003e brings together works by many of the most visionary and provocative artists of the period, including Asco, Chris Burden, Judy Chicago, Corita Kent, Leon Golub, David Hammons, Yoko Ono, and Nancy Spero. It explores how the moral urgency of the Vietnam War galvanized American artists in unprecedented ways, challenging them to reimagine the purpose and uses of art and compelling them to become politically engaged on other fronts, such as feminism and civil rights. The book presents an era in which artists struggled to synthesize the turbulent times and participated in a process of free and open questioning inherent to American civic life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeautifully illustrated, \u003ci\u003eArtists Respond\u003c\/i\u003e features a broad range of art, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, performance and body art, installation, documentary cinema and photography, and conceptualism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Smithsonian American Art Museum \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC\u003cbr\u003eMarch 15-August 18, 2019 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMinneapolis Institute of Art\u003cbr\u003eSeptember 28, 2019-January 5, 2020\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMelissa Ho\u003c\/b\u003e is curator of twentieth-century art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
