Comment Re:based upon the paintings i'd like to live... (Score 1) 115

In viewing the paintings and symbolism in the paintings, I've chosen the places I'd be most and least interested in experiencing. Keep in mind, I'm writing this from an open stand point, not knowing a significant amount about any of these countries. Italy - Now that's a vision. It appears that Italians have an amazing sense of humour and appreciation of things abstract. I especially got a kick out of the fact that they dislike Elvis and the Power Rangers and all the hype regarding them. According to the most hated one they appear disinterested in entity's over capitalized in American culture. China seems very sorrowful. In my opinion, blue can be a tranquil serene colour, however if overused it appears very sorrowful. The lack of leaves on the tree represent a sort of emptiness in my view. I can't determine who the smaller picture within a painting is, but it's obviously a well known figure in China. Due to everything else in the picture, it looks like the person has created the universal sorrow. The animal looks content though, drinking the water with a little grass in it's vicinity to much on. According to the most liked painting of Denmark, people of Denmark seem to have great pride in their country and see themselves as being very powerful. The pride is represented by the man holding the flag and the dancers. To me the dancers also represent culture and the arts. The powerful is attributed by the red and orange in the clouds. I can't say much about Holland, though it does interest me that there are such deep colours in the most liked painting and such washed out colours in the most hated painting. The most disliked painting was dull simplistic and conservative, like something my grandma would like or someone really square would like. Holland seems to have an open minded culture and to me appears to be a welcoming place for the generally unwelcome based on the two paintings side by side. I don't have too much to say on Germany, other than I love the black cat and the paintins is very charming. The disliked painting is repulsive. I refuse to go in depth about the US painting mainly because I'm from the US and really don't have a good opinion of it. The painting like the country is dull, simple and lifeless IMHO. I realize I've left some countries out and some paintings out, I just really didn't have an opinion on them. Sorry this was so long. Ciao.
