I have always marveled at the way in which Abstract Expressionism was able to transform a disparate group of painters, none of whom had shown any particular promise of artistic greatness, into figures of stunning originality.
The Abstract Expressionist canvas had become what Robert Motherwell characterized as "plastic, mysterious, and sublime."

Yet after they became celebrated in the art community, the CIA secretly funded exhibitions of their art abroad so as to propragandize in favor of individual liberty and liberal democratic capitalism.
