After the chaos that followed the First World War there arose a movement towards the figurative, the clean lines and defined shape that deviates from the two-dimensional spaces of abstraction, the compositions and fragmented own disintegrating bodies of Cubism, Futurism, Expressionism and other art movements of the early twentieth century. In response to the horrors of war was typical of the new machine, the artists sought the recovery of the human body and its representation complete and intact. During the next decade and a half, the discourse of contemporary art would be dominated by classicism: a return order, synthesis, to the rule and enduring values, instead of innovation at any price that had been so important in the years before the war.

Chaos and classic art in France, Italy, Germany and Spain, 1918-1936 takes a tour of the interwar period, from the mythical idea of \u200b\u200bavant-garde poetry Paris to the historical and political concept of a renewed Roman Empire imagined by Benito Mussolini, to the high modernism of the Bauhaus Neoplatonic, and finally to the staggering beauty of the emerging culture Nazi. The exhibition relates the major movements that proclaimed the visual and thematic clarity, the purist approach, the Italian Novecento and the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) through various topics very unique and interconnected. The presentation at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao includes significant examples of English art that took this back to classicism. Although Spain remained neutral during the First World War, was no stranger to political changes that led to war. In 1931 came the fall of the English monarchy and five years later would explode the Civil War.

The Great Transformation the aesthetics of wars in Western Europe came to painting, sculpture, photography, film, fashion and decorative arts, so the exhibition presents works by Balthus, Giorgio de Chirico, Jean Cocteau, Otto Dix, Pablo Gargallo, Hannah Höch, Fernand Leger, Henri Matisse, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Pablo Picasso and August Sander.
