Return to Order (Retour à l’ordre) was a movement in European art after World War I, where many modern artists turned away from experimentation and returned to classical traditions. After the trauma of the war, artists like Picasso and Derain began focusing on more stable, structured compositions—often drawing on Renaissance and classical influences.

It was a short-lived but important shift, helping shape a broader trend known as Interwar Classicism. Think of Return to Order as a focused wave within the larger sea of that traditional revival.
