Iceland vs the WORLD

Let's see what the island surrounded by naturally lush landscape, destructive volcanism, and Norse myths have to say on this survey. As expected, but a little low in my opinion, they topped out with a favorite color of blue at 31%. They care more about the design of a winter coat than either underwear or a car. no surprise there. Interestingly, they chose American art as their lowest type of preferred art. Coming in at a whopping 80%, they want to see outdoor depictions in their art and fields and rural scences instead of lakes/rivers/oceans. Is that because of the art they have seen inthe past or their longing for fertile ground to sow fresh food? I wonder why they have a preference for soft, curvy paintings when the landscape they are surrounded by could be considered angular,jagged. Yet, they want random patterns rather than geometric shapes? It seems conflicting with a natural outdoor scene... There is a split of ~32% for a painting to be serious or festive. I like that they only have 3% of the population opting for famous people in their paintings and 86% don't have a preference of sex-type or age.
