CIA Cultural Cold War, Weaponization of Art

This operation promoted abstract and "brutal" art to combat Soviet realism during the Cold War. The roots of this aesthetic warfare are traced back to the Fabian Socialists in the 1890s, who sought to degrade traditional culture through bizarre and transgressive artistic movements.
