Question

What name is given to the literary and cultural movement that occurred after World War I and addressed the societal problems that were created by the Great Depression?

Answer 1

Answer:

Surrealism

Explanation:

Artistic and literary movement that emerged in France after World War I and that is inspired by psychoanalytic theories to try to reflect the functioning of the subconscious, leaving aside any kind of rational control. It includes the realization of the psychological phases that in its turn are subdivided into unconscious and subconscious that support Sigmund Freud's theory. The movement begins in the 1920s, around the personality of the poet André Breton.

As its name says, surrealism as an artistic avant-garde was characterized by representing what was observed in reality in an unreal, absurd or fantastic way. In many cases, surrealist paintings are not the product of reality but of dreams and non-rational ideas that the artist possessed in his mind at the time of performing the work. The works do not have a graphic linearity, the spaces are usually broken, the proportions of the figures are not real and the colors are often inverted.

The socio-political context of the time undoubtedly relates to the development of this artistic avant-garde since it was inserted in a historical period of generalized crisis caused by the war and the different economic and social complications. This reality of hopelessness, fear and disorder had in Surrealism one of its clearest representatives when these artists showed a different, altered and in many cases chaotic reality.
