Without writing a missive:
it’s poverty, ignorance, false prosperity in decoration vs wealth, knowledge, and true prosperity in design.
Today: Hindu buses, jewelry. Southeast asian temples vs German industrial design.
The more competent the more purity of form, the less competent the more use of detail and decoration.
General the MENA studied the Stars, and supernatural, and Europeans studied nature and supernormal. The difference between europeans saw a heroic man, the asians a disgusting man, and the MENA a hatred of man. This is their representationalism. Now, this also reflects the trust in societies: European high trust, Chinese medium trust. MENA low trust.
All artistic variation between civlizatations can be explaind as a projection of their metaphisical, economic, political and technoligical development. Art is a technology like any other.
