The goal was to promote Abstract Expressionism as a symbol of American artistic and intellectual freedom, contrasting with the rigid, state-controlled art of the Soviet Union. This covert cultural propaganda aimed to demonstrate the superiority of Western values through literature, art, and intellectual discourse. It was closely linked to the Congress for Cultural Freedom<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">(CCF), which was later exposed as being CIA-funded. Some who benefited from the program include but are not limited to: Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline and Robert Motherwell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">La Operaci\u00f3n Long Leash (activa entre 1950 y 1967) fue un programa secreto de la CIA durante la Guerra Fr\u00eda que apoyaba en secreto a artistas, especialmente a los del movimiento Expresionista Abstracto. El objetivo era promover el expresionismo abstracto como s\u00edmbolo de la libertad art\u00edstica e intelectual Estadounidense, en contraste con el arte r\u00edgido y controlado por el Estado de la Uni\u00f3n Sovi\u00e9tica. Esta propaganda cultural encubierta ten\u00eda como objetivo demostrar la superioridad de los valores occidentales a trav\u00e9s de la literatura, el arte y el discurso intelectual.
