The Congress for Cultural Freedom, an organization to promote American culture and values, backed by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), sponsored exhibitions of Pollock's work. Some left-wing scholars, including Eva Cockcroft, have argued that the United States government and wealthy elite embraced Pollock and abstract expressionism to place the United States in the forefront of global art and devalue socialist realism.[59][62] Cockcroft wrote that Pollock became a "weapon of the Cold War".[63]
Pollock described his art as "motion made visible memories, arrested in space".[64]
