RUSSIAN VS WESTERN ART

What you will notice rather quickly once aware, is that Russian art has a legacy of iconography that leads to a preference for constrained space and extreme detail, and lacks the imperial spaciousness of english landscapes and American photography. Unfortunately we live in an era of sterile apartments built by cranes and with panel products and not in homes crafted by hand, filled with artifacts handed down over the generations. Art is inescapably a subordinate to architecture and until we fix architecture we cannot fix the art that decorates it.
