Organized by Nelson A. Rockefeller, the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs supported traveling exhibitions of American paintings, furniture and poster design competitions for artists across both hemispheres, widespread distribution of films with South American themes, and circulation of Latin American art within the United States. These exchanges of art and ideas were meant to counter negative views of U.S. culture spread by Nazi and totalitarian sympathizers. Olga Herrera shows how the program was an unprecedented public-private model of support for the arts, a driving force in the emergence of a Latin American art market in the United States, and a foundation for global art networks still in place today. 610 10 $a United States. $b Office of Inter-American Affairs $x History. 610 17 $a United States. $b Office of Inter-American Affairs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00550252 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 0 $a Propaganda, American $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art and society $x History. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Propaganda. 651 0 $a United States $x History. $z Latin America $x History. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z United States $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Latin America $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Art and the war. 650 7 $a Art and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815432 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Propaganda. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01078957 650 7 $a Propaganda, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01078968 650 7 $a Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082785 651 7 $a Latin America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245945 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423702 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 710 2 $a Latin American and Caribbean Arts and Culture Publication Initiative. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017025222.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180104062221.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C130E0CAF11E11E79D0FC10F97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
