Dada began after World War 1 as a protest against the war and modern reliance on science; key figures included Hannah Hoch who incorporated collage into her surrealist works, and Salvador Dali who painted nightmarish scenes with improbable subjects through highly skilled technique. During the Great Depression, American Regionalism depicted local rural scenes and people, such as Grant Wood's iconic American Gothic painting of farmers in front of their Gothic-style home.
