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.

If there was anything that Default Country did better than Commieland, the CIA would promote it. Art? Sure. Why not, some people like that stuff.

Thanks for the new term.
