Refreshing change of pace when it comes to a person who has to study this stuff (read: me). Part of the reason it makes the class semi-interesting is because you actually KNOW it's distinct. Rest of the countries' works are so sameness it's to be irritating.
Also I feel the need to point out that Russia can be considered both European and Asian, so the point still stands that the artwork here is mostly Western art being compared to one piece of Asian art.
Well, that was pretty amusing. Though to be fair, it's comparing one Eastern artwork to a group of Western artworks. And we all know that East and West have differences in a lot of aspects.

That was amusing. XD
I wonder how this would look if there were a bunch of eastern art compared to western art...

I realise why I said it was the first item, too. I was looking at the bottom five and forgot there were seven total.
Go me.

Russia classically detests Western mindsets. Thus the distinction.
