Communist Goals, Congressional Record, 1963

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

I wasn’t aware of this. Thank you.

I remember the commie art.
There was one which showed Chinese women, dancing a commie ballet, flags, faraway gaze, the whole nine yards.

They ain't that way now.

Luciano Pavarotti took western opera to China a long time ago. The Chinese LOVED him. They gave him a standing "O" every time he hit that high C--almost impossible for only but the STAR tenors. And he was that.
