I think I've seen discussions about this before, and obviously the USSR produced art because we still see statues of Lenin today. But how does this translate in modern times with the instance of obscure art or other modern art? Often the purpose of that art is to explicitly go against societal norms for aesthetics.
The Ways of Seeing (old docuseries available on youtube) is also a interesting look into how art as a creative practice becomes commodified via the reproduction of images. There is a lot more covered beyond that related to cultural hegemony too. Art mystification is also a large part of these processes.
