I don't think that the american cultural exports would have been effective in the way Eisenhower wanted. I think that foreigners would have felt that the US was forcing cultural upon them. Seeing american art wouldn't have necessarily made foreigners think that we weren't a war obsessed country. Also, the selectivity of the art forms, most notably the abstract art, didn't even allow foreigners to see a true representation of american culture.
