This image isn’t a painting—it’s a typed list on plain paper. The words are packed tightly in two blocks. The top block names dozens of artists, like Vito Acconci, Joseph Beuys, and Yoko Ono. The bottom block says George Maciunas won’t talk to any of them until the next festival. The list is a protest. It’s titled *Composition 1971* and was made by George Maciunas, who wanted to call out artists who skipped an avant-garde event. Look up George Maciunas to see how he used art to make statements like this.
