THE ATLAS OF THE UNPAINTABLE

The rebuttal — "Revisiting the Revisionists"

the rebuttal
nature
Michael Kimmelman's counter-argument in the New York Times: the covert funding was real, the paintings were promoted, and the leap from those facts to "the CIA made Abstract Expressionism famous, and that is what it is for" does not survive the archives.

⭐⭐⭐ IT IS HERE BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE IS. This app's rule is that when the strongest objection to a thing it is building is real, the objection goes in first and at full strength. A wing that printed Cockcroft and left this out would be doing the exact thing it accuses the CCF of.
rhymes with
sephirahchesed
whyChesed is the generous reading — sometimes the correct one, and always the one you should have to argue against.
