Has There Ever Been a Better Patron of the Arts Than the CIA?
#3
It is now documented that the CIA was behind many of the abstract artists that rose to prominence in the 60's through 80s and 90s. Their 'logic' was that it would show the unbridled freedom of thought and action of the 'West' and capitalism and destabilize Soviet art. So, some of the painters and other artists that became rich and famous had a little help from a rich Uncle...Uncle Sam - and did NOT really become famous due to their art work, per se; but had it 'sold' [like soap powder] to the US and the World. The CIA has been messing around with just about everything to mold opinions to please their masters.
