‘Strike a pose’ presents artworks made in the first decades of the twentieth century, in which the artists assume the posture of the ‘Grand Manner’ or ‘swagger’ portrait, alongside Japanese artist Yasumasa Morimura’s contemporary parody Doublonnage (Marcel) 1988, which riffs on art history and disrupts norms around gender and race.
