Tells the story of how the United States used modern art as a cultural defense strategy in South America during World War II. Organised by figures such as Nelson A. Rockefeller, the Art Section of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs linked art and national security. In the process, modern art came to symbolize American values.
