Lost Generation Art

These paintings are examples of the art used during the Lost Generation. At this point, after the war, people lost faith in human kind because of all the death that occurred during World War I. Artists began to experiment with colors and alter the reality of their pieces of art. No longer would the depictions look realistic. Reality was too ugly for the artists to create in their eyes, so they experimented with colors to alter it.
