  1. Alienation and Disillusionment: the art of the Twentieth Century The increasing de-personalization of industrial society combined with the horrors of two world wars led to growing feelings of alienation and disillusionment in the twentieth century. This was especially reflected in much of the art. While Picasso continued in the spirit of experimentation made possible by the impressionists and the camera in the 1800s, these more abstract forms of expression lent themselves to expressing the growing anxiety of the century. Following is a brief overview of some of that art, starting with Picasso and the somewhat disturbing combat art of such men as Otto Dix in World War I and running through the surrealists and modern abstract art.
