The book notes that American artists tend to approach their subject empirically, whereas the Soviet artists, much to the surprise of some, had a more symbolic, even spiritual approach. The western writers were not aware of the historical role of the Russian 'Cosmism' movement, which sought to place humankind in its proper place in the cosmos from a philosophical and spiritual viewpoint.
