Abstract modernism isn’t only an us based style. I get you don’t care for it, that’s ok.
But art has been put to political use for ages, and got funding from governments.
The time from the European song contest is from Carpentier, paid for by Louis XIV to commemorate his victories f.i. you can’t really blame the artists for getting paid for doing their thing, can you?
But my main point was that that money was better spent versus toppling foreign socialist regimes or stoking up the war on drugs by getting involved in drugs trade. The art thing is more desirable in any way.
