Samenvatting
The National Endowment for the Arts (NAE) is often accused of embodying a liberal agenda within the American government. In this study author assesses the leadership and goals of Presidents Kennedy through Carter, as well as Congress and the National Council on the Arts, drawing a picture of the major players who created national arts policy. Using presidential papers, NEA and National Archives materials, and also interviews with policy-makers, she refutes persisting beliefs in arts funding as a part of a liberal agenda and reveals that NEA officials promoted a modernist, abstract aesthetic specifically because they believed such a style would best showcase American achievement and freedom. This initially led them to neglect many contemporary art forms they feared could be perceived as politically problematic, such as pop, feminist and ethnic arts. |
