Huh, you just helped me realize why authoritarians only ever seem to produce realism, and no other art.

Communist countries also produced a lot of abstract art. Most of it was still soulless though.

The US also prompted artists at the time to make abstract art that's soulless and sucks to show how "unconstrained" we were compared to soviet realism.

Turns out artists just don't make good art when force them to draw one specific thing for propaganda reasons.

Yes, realism is garbage reactionary art because realism is a garbage reactionary philosophy. Reality was invented by racist old white guys to justify slavery.
