That was because Russia was creating actual art and laughing at the media America produced.
- PearlRiver 1mo agoThe USSR was selling art to fund the KGB. Stone glass houses.
- jazzyjackson 1mo agoWell that’s exactly the opposite situation isn’t it, funding their intelligence with art people were willing to pay for Vs art that needed to be paid for by intelligence
- 47635274172635 1mo agoNever would have thought that art and intelligence agencies have so much synergy tbh.
- a34729t 1mo agoRussia has exceptional art education and the best art school in the world. I am proud as an American that we weaponized shitty art as a cultural weapon (Pollock bukkake)
- throw-the-towel 1mo agoWhat art school do you mean?
- a34729t 1mo agoSt. Petersburg Institute for Painting, Sculpture and Architecture
- anigbrowl 1mo agoIs this ironic or did you inadvertently omit a word
- TFNA 1mo agoWithin the former USSR, there is very, very little demand today for the socialist-realist works produced during the Stalin era. No one goes to see museum exhibitions of the visual art except as a historical oddity, and the doctrinaire literature of that time is rotting unread in myriad provincial libraries. Its own market rejected it. Meanwhile, some of the Western abstract expressionists still appeal to a decent audience of art lovers.
