I’d caution against ‘fitting’, that’s a normal human tendency to generalize or overgeneralize in all things. The primary difference in design is the result of the war-era development of panel products, and the lower cost of construction of ‘skinned steel’ or ‘skinned wood’ that sacrificed sound dampening, thermal mass, and useful lifetime, for cost and speed. Subsequently the design of interiors and the decreased cost of mass produced furniture and art to fill them, and worse the construction of general purpose instead of specific purpose buildings. group strategy geography climate political economic and technological state of development in relation to the demographic composition of the polity, the resulting productivity and distribution of wealth, and the resulting demand for signaling goods (art) all affect what art is produced. Hence the quality of Russian painting vs american – they just are poor and. have time. And the fact that all the galleries in pairs ar owned by foreigners, and there ar few if any french artists of note.
