I scored 100% on your quiz. I imagine it's pretty easy for anyone who has spent a bit of time studying the abstract expressionist movement. The respecting of space/the canvas is telling.
WRT Abstract Expressionism being promoted by the CIA, I fail to find why that means the art is neither good nor valuable. Can you expand on why that matters? If the CIA backed/touted an artist you _do_ respect, would that immediately set them in the "meme-tier"?

I like socialist realism, so I don't really care if it's government funded; or even genocidal government funded as long as it's good art. Abstract expressionism was and always will be a meme tier regime loyalty test; literally emperor clothes. Show the socialist realism "tin tits" over Kiev's skyline to a caveman and he'll understand it. It takes a KWA-Soviet bureaucrat type, initiated into inhuman ugliness, to "understand" Pollock.
