Between the Wars

The collaboration between Picasso and Braque was ended by the First World War. After the war, Picasso, reflecting society''''s disillusionment and shock with the technological horrors of the war, reverted to a Classicist mode of representation. At the same time, however, he was continuing to push Cubism into new paths. During the ''''30s Picasso became tangentially connected with the Surrealist movement. Although Andre Breton tried to recruit Picasso, he remained ultimately aloof from any school of art throughout his career.
