Abstract
Marisol's assemblageThe Generals(1961-62) assumes a guise of well-worn signifiers of midcentury US patriotic masculinity: equestrian statue, founding father, soldier, and cowboy. At the same time, this sculpture of George Washington and Simon Bolivar on a single horse invokes the very forces Cold Warriors vilified as un-American threats at home and abroad: homoeroticism and Latin American dissent. Marisol's irreverent antimonument, which has garnered little analysis but performed a central role during her meteoric rise in the 1960s, tapped into Cold War discourses about sexual politics, freedom, national mythologies, and inter-American relations.
