With the exception of Knives Out 2, which used magic to dispose of the pandemic in the first act, nobody wants to relive some of the worst shit that happened!
Do you think these artists from the interwar period were trying to relive the great war, or were they simply trying to deal with the scars it left on society in their work?
As artists are apt to do.
the term *interwar* seems to be your answer here. they were processing the trauma inflicted on their generation after WWI, no?
that's a timescale of decades after the fact for that trauma processing, this guy seems to be demanding concurrent creation.
