After 1918, artistic trends reflected developments made before the war. Abstract arts became very popular. People started to enjoy art that was odd looking and scary. These types of art were caused by people being affected by the World Wars and caused the Dada movement and Surrealism.
Dadaists were artist who were obsessed with the idea that life had no meaning. Hannah Höch was a Dada artist. She used photomontage to comment on Women's roles in the new mass culture.
SurrealismSurrealism was a more important movement than the Dada movement. They sought a reality beyond the material world and found it in the world of the unconscious. Salvador Dalí was the High Priest of Surrealism. He made many weird paintings but they were very good. Germans rejected this art at the time. They said it was ugly and not good enough. They ended up making their own type of art but it was boring and just emphasized realistic scenes of everyday life.
