As Europe recovered from World War I, artists were experiencing an undercurrent of growth. During the 1920s and 1930s, such artists as Modigliani, Soutine, and Chagall were emerging, and Picasso and Matisse continued developing their styles. The uncertain fortunes of the world affected the art colonies, as the Depression cast its shadow, but many artists were attracted to Montparnasse with its affordable housing and studio space. The Adventure of Modern Art: New Realities also looks at works by Arp, Léger, Dali, and Herbin. ~ Alice Day, All Movie Guide
