I always thought Suprematism was what the Soviets were pushing, now I read the wiki article and it seems it was not, and Socialist realism was, and I guess it was the hyper-realism you talk about?
Unless you lived in that era it’s really hard to imagine how the reds lived in the imagination of every American. if you’re old enough to remember the war culture during the start of Iraq/Afghanistan. it was like that on steroids. 50 years of Cold War means a couple generations were completely consumed by it. The cold war nostalgia tour didn’t end until the “terrorists are every where” tour began.
Not really? Soviets were pushing hyper-realism so the US government funded the opposite

They didn’t. It was about opposing the Soviets everywhere more than anything
A foolish strategy. It means you allow your opponent to limit you. People who like hyper realism would have no option but Soviet art.
