Detailed explanation-1: -Immediately after World War I, artists began to reject avant-garde styles, such as Cubism and Futurism, that had been at the epicenter of artistic activity in Europe prior to the onset of the war. In place of these movements, artists explored new forms of Classicism, abstraction, and satire in their work.
Detailed explanation-2: -Interwar Classicism is a movement that challenges the idea of modern art history as driven by progress. Instead of looking forward (and building upon the innovations of Dada, Fauvism, Cubism et al), artists turned toward the past, believing that novelty and innovation was unnecessary and inappropriate.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Interwar period is the title given to the period of time between the end of World War I in 1918 and the beginning of World War II in 1939. Many important events occurred during this period, including economic crises, political transformations, and major social changes.
Detailed explanation-4: -From 1925 to 1929, Europe entered a period of relative prosperity and stability. However, unemployment remained high, and population growth outstripped economic growth. During this time, world trade increased and speculative investment increased as the result of better economic times.
