Answer: Artists were drawn to the dark realities of war, exploring realism in the terms of trenches and death
Explanation: The First World War has left a mark on all mankind, and so on art. The artists were turning to dark topics, lost motives, ridiculing rich, cynicism, black humour, etc. Post-war injustice was present in art, for example, the unequal treatment of war veterans with disabilities and many other consequences that the war put on. In reaction to such general mood, many directions in art appear, for example, surrealism.
