Both Hitler and Stalin only respected/allowed representational art. They both hated abstract art. Any promotion of non-representational art was in effect a rejection of Stalin (and Mao and Kim). Socialist Realism was the name for the representational art promoted by Stalin, Mao & Kim. It was always a propaganda piece. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_realism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_realism https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/s/socialist-realism https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/s/socialist-realism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_in_Nazi_Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_in_Nazi_Germany https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/d/degenerate-art https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/d/degenerate-art If there was anything that Default Country did better than Commieland, the CIA would promote it.
