The Socialist Realism, an ideology enforced by the Soviet state as the official standard for art, literature etc., was defined in 1934 at the First All-Union Congress of Soviet writers. It was based on the principle that the arts should glorify political and social ideals of communism. Every artist had to join the "Union of Soviet Artists", which was controlled by the state. The paintings had to be idealisations of political leaders and communist ideas.

The collusion of arts and government has not always been voluntary, but the result has always been more tyranny ---

The theory of Socialist Realism was adopted by the Congress of Soviet Writers in 1934. Approved by Joseph Stalin, Nickolai Bukharin, Maxim Gorky and Andrey Zhdanov, Socialist Realism demanded that all art must depict some aspect of man's struggle toward socialist progress for a better life. It stressed the need for the creative artist to serve the proletariat by being realistic, optimistic and heroic. The doctrine considered all forms of experimentalism as degenerate and pessimistic.

What did Hitler call it ?
My bad: I misstyped and put NAE. Should be NEA = National Endowment of the Arts.
My apologies.
Thanks for posting this info! Beck is an American hero for the work he is doing to expose this commie cabal running the country now. His show today was sobering and scary. It’s time to make a ‘stink’ about this whole thing!

This has got to be illegal. It is certainly yet another ABUSE OF POWER from this WH. No wonder Obama does not want to release the daily visitation and phone call logs from the WH! This kind of stuff is going on in every branch of our government now.
Thanks to netmilsmom for the heads up!
Here’s the thread with the piece by the artist who was on the phonecon and recorded it:

Wow, what is with this guy? Hard to believe the administration says nothing about him.
But keep making a “stink” about these Marxists. They think the arts community can “make a stink”? Have they checked out a Townhall lately?
And we’re not shutting up.
And didn’t we just have a security officer tell a protester (Bob Parks) that the ART on his poster -— an OJoker graphic -— was NOT acceptable in the NEW AMERICA?
Yes. We did.

From one of the WT links:

“A conference call was hosted by the White House Office of Public Engagement, the NEA, and United We Serve on August 10th. The Washington Times asked the NEA for a copy of the invitation to the conference call, but Communications Director for the NEA Yosi Sergant told us that they were not the ones who sent out the invitations for the conference call. Mr. Sergant directed us to the Corporation for National and Community Service as the body that sent out the invitations. We contacted Sandy Scott in public affairs at this government agency and asked for the invitation this afternoon. As of Thursday evening, we have not received a copy of the invitation.” (end snip)
Looks like we need to ‘make a stink’ with this group as well:

Obama and the democrats are using official arms of our government to push their marxist agenda! This is an ABUSE OF POWER!!
Look at the picture at the link above. It will make you sick!
“National service . gov “ ??
I’m almost skeered to click on a link with a name like that, in this political environment.
This is indeed (another) abuse of power (again). The collusion of art and government, especially, as here, surreptiously, means only MORE TYRANNY.
Back after I check out your link.
Gross !!
Thanks to admin mod for fixing my mistake in the title!
