Hi everyone I know its late in the day but as we discussed today after we had completed our essays and presentation, the information about the CIA.
I have been researching it tonight. The CIA supported the Abstract Expressionists in the 1950's.
The Art was held up at this time as proof of creativity and intellectual freedom against Russian Communism.
Also our visit to the Oriel Mon Gallery in Llangefni. Martyn Lewis has a loose connection to Abstract Expressionism in the way he was inspired by Patrick Heron and Heron was inspired by the Abstract Expressionists. I will add this info to the Blog!!!!
Great work everyone.....Nicky that summes it up nicely... was fun working with you all x
