well you have a lot to explore - starting in Kandinski and most of the bauhaus and work your way up into former-communist countries propaganda.
Maybe NT citizen elms can give you a few links. there's a nice mag that gathers work from EEU designers and illustrators but i can't remember its name.

well hiten, after re-reading your post i was wondering if your client wasn't foggy about eastern art and the stuff from De Stijl. Squares and Flowing lines are dutch and hardly eastern. Search for Mondrian.

yeah after looking at a map and knowing he's italian i think I shouldnt have taken his advice of eastern european, I think he wants something italian more so then eastern european.

ok i'm definitely lost now.
but if he's italian he's probably not mistaken about "eastern art". Surely not Italian since Italy always considered itself the center (and honestly, in my op). Probably a specific idea. I would check again with him.
