Art support by the federal government through NBA has not occupied a big part on the whole as for the art support in the United States. But, NEA has played an important role for the promotion of the U.S. culture, through more than 115,000 NEA grants since its foundation in 1965. The culture war, the confusion of the beliefs and values of the American public in recent years, has exerted a big influence on this NEA as well. Shocking works of Serrano and Mapplethorpe were repulsed from the traditional values of the American public, and the movement to abolish or to restrict NEA support was expanded. Because of this, Congress made some amendments related to the NEA aid in 1989 and 1990. Then NEA became careful for the aid for the controversial arts activities, and didn't recognize the application for Finley. Finley challenged the amendment as violating unconstitutionaly the freedom of the expression of 1st Amendment. This paper tries to analyze the case of NEA v. Finley along with the legislation process of the NEA aid limitation, and also to examine the relation between the direct governmental art support and the congressional control.
