For the perusal of the group - the CIA promoted the modern art movement:

“The decision to include culture and art in the US Cold War arsenal was taken as soon as the CIA was founded in 1947. Dismayed at the appeal communism still had for many intellectuals and artists in the West, the new agency set up a division, the Propaganda Assets Inventory, which at its peak could influence more than 800 newspapers, magazines and public information organisations. They joked that it was like a Wurlitzer jukebox: when the CIA pushed a button it could hear whatever tune it wanted playing across the world.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I think this is ridiculous.

The author is ignorant of the art world and even refers to "Abstract Expressionism" as an avant-garde movement. the two styles have very little in common.

What is true is that certain modern and contemporary styles reflect the nihilism and deconstructionism of the execrable neo-Marxist philosophy of post-modernism.
