Résumé anglais «Return to order» : a critical analysis of the formula, Annick Lantenois. Since the 1970s, the historiography of post First World War European art has been marked by the use of «return to order» to characterize the artistic movement of that period. The formula is liable to criticism because it hides the complexity of the fine arts movements and uses the notion of «disorder» as a reference that is negative for some, positive for others. It is a methodological stake of art history to criticize a method which reconstructs the coherence of a historical period from cleavages and patterns of binary opposition (order/disorder, national art/hatred of Other, academicism/avant-garde) and antinomies (reason/instinct, masculine/feminine, right/left, normal/abnormal).
