Avant-garde (pronounced /ɑvɑ̃ gɑʁd/) in French means "front guard", "advance guard", or "vanguard".1 The term is commonly used in French, English, and German to refer to people or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to art, culture, and politics.
Avant-garde represents a pushing of the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm or the status quo, primarily in the cultural realm. The notion of the existence of the avant-garde is considered by some to be a hallmark of modernism, as distinct from postmodernism. Postmodernism posits that the age of the constant pushing of boundaries is no longer with us and that avant-garde has little to no applicability in the age of Postmodern art

JESUS!! you're so weird. Avant-Garde simply means being different.
Nooo…..It's an art movement. Look it up, doll.
JESUS, I know that, but it means "front-line". It's about being an individual. Literature, Theater, Dance, Painting, Sculpture, Fashion…I call that being different. And comment back soon.
How about this? Avant-Garde is an umbrella term that references the series of movements in art, liturature, music, etc. that emphazises radical individualism.
This is what I was refering to in my first comment...That the three works pictured on this page are a part of three different art movements that are all contained in the specific term.
Then, in reaction to your over-simplified definition of the term, I assumed you were ignorant to the subject (which you obviously are not), and the rest is history! Sooo....We're both right! -High Five-
THANK you. Ya get me now! Simple is good by the way. It's the intelligent way of life. _
Haha…Personally, I love to overcomplicate things…
