Surrealism

Manina is presented at Independent 20th Century from 24–27 September 2026, at Booth 203. The presentation is the first exhibition of Manina’s work in New York since her 1952 exhibition at Hugo Gallery.

‘El ángel y el escarabajo’ (1941) is a woodcut by José Planas Casas. Planas Casas was a Spanish artist who became an Argentine citizen.

The exhibition has opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, beginning with a film about the Windmill Poetry Society, a modernist poetry group formed in Taiwan in the 1930s, and reconsidering modernity in Taiwan and Japan through diverse cultural arts.
