[two guys lay down at the crest of the ridge overlooking blackrock. at first they appear to be burning man attendees, but it turns out theyre just regular desert tweakers. the playa is strewn with abandoned vehicles and the twisted metal remains of various camps] my god...it's full of meth. they should have sent a poet

Al! posted:i mean from an art historical perspective this isnt saying the thing you think its saying. abex was seen as a uniquely american movement, directly opposed to the old world french salon style of painting that was still very much what people thought of when they thought of "a painting". theres also a lot of other postwar stuff going on in new york that gave rise to the loose collection of artists known as abstract expressionists. I'm trained as an art historian, but not practicing, I make art instead. This is correct, Greenberg is the key in all this, he, and the artists in his orbit were clearly heading in this direction well before the 50s. However, it is beyond doubt he had some kind of relationship with the CIA, how much isn't really known at this time (unless I've missed something, my education is fairly current, but I haven't kept up research since). In my training it was a given that the CIA was funding the movement, that wasn't up for debate. That said, any understanding of modernist art history will clearly show that you were going to get that movement no matter whether the CIA funded their shows or not, but the degree to which the CIA money mattered is up for debate. It is my personal belief it would have gotten just as big even if the CIA was actively trying to crush the movement. New York had become the center of the capitalist world, so much money was pouring in, here were these young optimistic and confident artists making exciting new art, well, new as long as you ignore the Russian avant-garde from decades before. It would have been a stark contrast to the abstract movements in post-war Europe, which lacked confidence, vision, and were deeply pessimistic. On a most basic level it makes sense, would you, a monied art collector (or launderer) want to hang out with a bunch of snobby Europeans that act sad and spend all their time with Satre, or would you want to hang out with a bunch of upbeat young artists that basically just hosed and drank most of the day?

so it seems like art movements are more or less about wealthy people: a) wanting to gently caress artists and get high b) laundering money co-opting any messages of class consciousness or resistance just seems like a nice cherry on top

These people were going to be big because they were in the right place at the right time, and people liked their vibes. Being a fun group of people goes a long way to promoting a movement. Just a thought, maybe if marxists handed people booze instead of Capital we'd see a lot more marxists around.

Feels Villeneuve posted:also the links between the government and art in the 20th century definitely existed, the part that annoyed me mostly happened on dumb websites where instead of using this information to look at art critically, it was instead used for blanket dismissal of entire genres of art and music, which is boring getting really into art sponsored by the nazis for it's merits divorced from politics.

sitchensis posted:so it seems like art movements are more or less about wealthy people: This bigtime. Multiple artists I know are pretty honest about trading sex for career advancement, not even big advances, just like a solo show. Or for art sales from collectors. It can be pretty predatory. The high-end art world of course is infamous for being money laundering all the way through, that shouldn't be news to anyone though. I would partially contest most art movements being about wealthy people. 99.99% of art that has been made has never been written about. Even today, most art never becomes "important". It is still meaningful and beautiful, it just didn't become "important". Clement Greenberg, who is at the center of all this, crafted a masterful narrative about art and how art developed and progressed through history. If you ever were taught art history, even in highschool, you were probably taught Greenberg's theory, though it would never have been named. In short, he posits that the development of art is linear, always progressing from movement to movement, like a baton, and that with the emergance of modernity art began to progress into increasing levels of abstraction. That theory implies, and it is also often outright stated that abstract impressionism was the end result. All art history led to that. The notion of a linear progression to art history, that centered european art, had existed since much earlier, but Greenberg codified it, making sure the world understood art belonged to new york now. Long story short, art is so much more than what you were taught good art is. It most often is the exact opposite. Go check out some local art shows, there are likely some amazing artists you'd love. No need to buy, just go see some art. Also art doesn't have to be for sale! tl:dr - Your entire conception of art, and art history, was a CIA op. Ab Ex being CIA funded is nothing compared to the art history you learned in HS being made up by the CIA middleman.

Govt funding art for propaganda is not new, and didn't define the styles but def exploited them. Was reminded of the infamous "monstrosities of madness" show that Hitler put on to prove a point that abstract expressionism was deviant and gross, and staged this photo with all the paintings hung all cockeyed to drive the point home lol.
