september 2015 nydwracu niþgrim nihtbealwa mæst home about nydwracu niþgrim nihtbealwa mæst part 2 monthly archives september 2015 everybody was on the same page 6 comments posted by nydwracu on september 17 2015 this was a revisionist interpretation of art history and it had two prongs the first was the suggestion of actual collusion between moma and the c i a the evidence for this has always been largely circumstantial the man who directed cultural activities at the c i a in the early years of the cold war thomas braden had previously been the executive secretary of moma according to saunders a number of moma trustees were also on the board of the farfield foundation a c i a front the president of the museum in the nineteen forties and fifties was nelson rockefeller whose family had supported moma from the beginning and who had close ties to the intelligence community and an unabashed commitment to the patriotic uses of art it was nelson who had demanded the removal of diego rivera s murals from the walls of rockefeller center because they depicted lenin during the war rockefeller had been the roosevelt administration s coördinator of inter american affairs the head of the art section in that office rené d harnoncourt joined moma in 1944 and became its director what this suggests though is simply that the leaders of moma like the leaders of most mainstream institutions in the united states after the war were anti communists as saunders acknowledges there were no explicit arrangements between the government and the museum and the reason was that there didn t need to be everybody was on the same page rockefeller and alfred barr the founding director of moma who after the war served as chairman of the painting and sculpture collections did not have to be encouraged to use american art to promote the nation s image abroad they never pretended that they were up to anything else barr was a lover of european modernism but he was on a mission to persuade americans that theirs was a modern culture a mission that he pursued by mounting exhibitions on modern architecture and design and starting the museum s department of film headed by the formidable iris barry and dedicated to the proposition that hollywood movies were part of the modern movement in the arts source but you know it s still a wacky conspiracy theory to say that everyone was on the same page uncategorized cathedral deep state media the geopolitical uses of abstraction 2 comments posted by nydwracu on september 16 2015 what would have been the geopolitical uses of abstraction the theory as it was proposed in articles published in artforum and other journals in the nineteen seventies and then elaborated in serge guilbaut s how new york stole the idea of modern art 1983 and frances stonor saunders s the cultural cold war 1999 is that abstract painting was an ideal propaganda tool it was avant garde the product of an advanced civilization in contrast to soviet painting it was neither representational nor didactic it could be understood as pure painting art absorbed by its own possibilities experiments in color and form or it could be understood as pure expression a school in which every artist had a unique signature a pollock looked nothing like a rothko which looked nothing like a gorky or a kline either way abstract expressionism stood for autonomy the autonomy of art freed from its obligation to represent the world or the freedom of the individual just the principles that the united states was defending in the worldwide struggle art critics therefore developed apolitical modes of appreciation and evaluation emphasizing the formal rigor or the existentialist drama of the paintings and the museum of modern art favored abstract expressionists in its purchases and international exhibitions at the expense of art whose politics might have been problematic the kind of naturalist art for example that was featured in the advancing american art exhibition source uncategorized america art cia cold war deep state history the new york times 2 comments posted by nydwracu on september 16 2015 a handful of liberal and socialist writers led by philosophy professor sydney hook saw their chance to steal a little of the publicity expected for the waldorf peace conference the scientific and cultural conference for world peace a pro moscow event organized by a cpusa front group a fierce ex communist himself hook was then teaching at new york university and editing a socialist magazine called the new leader ten years earlier he and his mentor john dewey had founded a controversial group called the committee for cultural freedom which attacked both communism and nazism he now organized a similar committee to harass the peace conference in the waldorf astoria hook s new group called itself the americans for intellectual freedom its big names included critics dwight macdonald and mary mccarthy composer nicolas nabokov and commentator max eastman arnold beichman a labor reporter friendly with anti communist union leaders remembered the excitement of tweaking the soviet delegates and their fellow conferees we didn t have any staff we didn t have any salaries to pay anything but inside of about one day the place was just busting with people volunteering one of beichman s union friends persuaded the sold out waldorf to base hook and his group in a three room suite i told them if you don t get that suite we ll close the hotel down he explained to beichman and another union contact installed 10 phone lines on a sunday morning hook and his friends stole the show they asked embarrassing questions of the soviet delegates at the conference s panel discussions and staged an evening rally of their own at nearby bryant park news stories on the peace conference reported the activities of the americans for intellectual freedom in detail the only paper that was against us in this reporting was the new york times recalled beichman it turned out years later that the times reporter was a member of the party source uncategorized america cia cold war communism deep state history media rss feed search
