Marsden Hartley, The Iron Cross, 1915 (the link takes to a video on the painting by Washington University in St. Louis)
Korman & Melamid, Double Self-portrait, 1984Until tomorrow (sorry for the delay) there are two wonderful exhibitions in Madrid: Total Enlightenment. Conceptual Art in Moscow 1960-1990, at the Fundación Juan March , and ¡1914! Avant-garde and the Great War, at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza.
Both are one of those luxuries that are going to disappear if the economic crisis gets really bad. If you cannot go, the catalogues are excellent pieces of literature on their respective subject, maybe the best one in both cases: Russian conceptual art and the relationship between war and the historical avant-garde.
Boris Groys, the curator of Total Enlightenment, has just published in Spanish an excellent book on current mediatic era: Bajo sospecha. Soon, in Revista de Occidente it will appear my review of the book.
