How did the visual arts change in the postwar period?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Art was transformed in the postwar period to reflect the changes in the mentality of artists, as well as the new aesthetics of their audience. Futurism allied closely with radical politics and embraced technology, seeing war as a means to clean the slate of bad influences and start again. Surrealists turned toward inspiration from dreams and subconscious states, reflecting the new interest in Freudian psychology. They rebelled against rationality, ignored politics, and explored the mind. Expressionism took on a new form as it adopted new political and social tones related to the experiences of the artists.
