UPCOMING GUEST in January 2024: Michael Pearce's book Kitsch, Propaganda and the American Avant-Garde uncovers one thing Lenin, Hi**er and Roosevelt had in common:

A keen eye for art as state propaganda.

Avoiding the old-fashioned vs modern dichotomy, Pearce shows the cultural historical roots of employing both figurative and abstract painting to further political correctness.

Pearce traces it back to 19th century socialist thinking, and goes in-depth on the ideas of philosophers like Proudhon and Saint-Simon, as well as the protests of Emile Zola.

First and foremost, however, he shows how the the American government and a few wealthy families made Avant-garde art into the preferred art form of the 20th century, casting it as the antidote to the sentimentality of kitsch.
