Art in the Interwar Era

My first post this week I wrote that Ernst and Margritte were realist artists, well I was wrong they are really surrealists. Surrealism is an expression of subconscious mind, a personal and cultural revolution, anti-war, anti-modern movement, irrationality was antidote of national thought. This type of art was popular during the 1920's and 30's. Some other types of art is expressionism, cubism, dadaism and precisionism.

Expressionism occurred during the early 20th century. Expressionism's characteristics are bold colors, distorted forms, two-demential, mood emphases over representation. The movement was encouraged by the social upheaval of WWII. Some artists are Kandinsky, Munch and Klee.

Cubism occurred from 1900's- 1910's. The technique of this art style is that it depicts objects/figures from multiple perspectives at once., subject in greater context, shallow depth of field, which meant intersection of subject and background, political in nature. Some examples of artist that used cubism are Picasso, Gris and Baraque.

Here are some examples of art pieces!
