In the 1920s, many artists moved away from avant-garde styles and returned to figurative and classical traditions, focusing on themes like motherhood and Mediterranean myths, recovering nostalgic manifestations as a means to deal with times of loss and alienation. This movement, often called “the return to order” or “the classical revival,” was a response to the trauma of World War I, the effects of uncontrolled industrialisation and the socioeconomic crisis. While some viewed this shift as conservative or reactionary, in fact it also reflected a desire for stability and timeless values, blending classical tradition with a renewal of modern artistic expression.
