Comparing The Artistic Modernism Of Pre-World War I Europe To European Modernism In The 1920s

Abstract: 6 pages in length. The surrealist DaDa movement of post-World War I was the rebellious answer to the social and political nature of battle, successfully crushing the avant-garde period of pre-World War I, a conflict that effectively halted the heady artistic experimentation of prewar Western Europe. Avant-gardist artistry was responsible for the growth of myriad elements of contemporary art, including but not limited to cinema, advertising and newspaper/book publishing. Sadly, as the war passed, so too did many of the artistic personalities of the avant-garde period, as well. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
