For Jeff J Brown’s Books, Radio Sinoland & social media outlets
Based on both library/internet research and a handful of real-life exhibitions I attended, I could almost say with confidence that artistic expressions in societies like Iran, China, Cuba, or the USSR and Yugoslavia when they existed, tends to be higher-quality in aesthetics and subject matter than in the West today (the classics from before the XX century still stand tall). For all the cries of “muh censorship”, the values and cultural environments of revolutionary societies appear more congenial to enlightening the audience of an artistic work, inspiring them to be better people and show a more profound appreciation for life. This is in complete contrast to the commercialism and anti-intellectualism associated with America in particular. Animation director John Kricfalusi (creator of “Ren & Stimpy”) even said something to the effect of “Aesthetic perfection is for wimps and communists.” Such a lofty view of his craft (sarcasm).
