Neoclassicism in music, as represented by artists like Stravinsky, and Hindemith,
represents a return to forms, structures and other stylistic approaches of the
18th Century. The "back to Bach" approach emblematic of
this movement reflects a reaction against the Impressionist period in music.
Great artists like Picasso and the poet T.S. Elliot contributed to the Neoclassic
period as well, though their approach towards drawing inspiration from Greek
art and literature had a decidedly 20th Century flair. For more information
