Synopsis :
The period between the two World War was one of unprecedented ferment. An art explosion occured all over Europe, not least in Russia, and it had profound repercussions in the United States. The established masters steadily developed their art (Matisse, Picasso, Bonnard, Chagall,Duchamp) Photography came into its own, especially in the United States (Stieglitz, Sheeler, DStrand, Weston , Man Ray). The avant-garde cinema became experimental as nevor before (Moscow , Paris, Berlin) ----------- A new sensibility found expression in abstract art (Suprematism and Constructivism in Russia, Mondrian and the De Stijl movement in Holland) , while the Expressionists carried out an unsparing critique of contemporary society (Beckmann, Grosz, Otto Dix and Schad in Germany, Rouault and Soutine in France. The anti-art revolt of Dada (in New York, Zurich, Berlin, Cologne and Paris) and the brillant adepts of Surrealism (Max Ernst, Mirò, Masson, Dali, Tanguy, Magritte) created a fascinating welters of forms rooted in the subconscious and denounced tje incherence and absurdity of a world again drifting towards war.-The great builders and designers, on the other hand, believed in the future and expressed their confidence in a long series of epoch-making works (the Bauhaus, Gropius, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Franck Lloyd Wright). . .
