Jacqueline de Jong: Vicious Circles
Vicious Circles will be the first exhibition in the United States dedicated to artist Jacqueline de Jong (b.1939, Hengelo, Netherlands, d. 2024, Amsterdam, Netherlands).The exhibition will consider the perpetual theme of war and protest within the artist’s oeuvre; whether in paintings dedicated to the rebellious spirit of rock ‘n’ roll, or haunting portrayals of the ongoing war in Ukraine, De Jong remained focused on the present, reacting to the now.
