After the Second World War, European art, especially French art, attempted to pick up the thread where it had left off before the war, with anecdotal avant-garde art always at the forefront. Not only the pre-war avant-garde but also new ones that will continue in the footsteps of the old ones (Art Brut, Op Art, Nouveaux Réalistes, Neo-Dada, Fluxus, abstract expressionism, various geometric arts, etc.). Representational painting appeared very timidly on the Paris art scene. In the chaotic days that followed immediately after the end of the war in France, representational painting would have few representatives in public debate. The visual arts of the 1960s in the artistic metropolises is perhaps the period in post-war history (and up to the present day) where the demand for avant-garde, experimentation and questioning will be raised more strongly than ever before and since. Today we are in a position to know that (so far at least) the demand of modernity has been defeated in artistic affairs and today it is difficult to find its flame alive despite the undeniable establishment of its representatives in museums and books of contemporary art. The work of art becomes something completely new, incomprehensible to the masses and open to all kinds of interpretation.
