Avant-Garde Series

Originating in military terminology, the phrase "avant-garde" transitioned to the realm of artists, embodying the revolutionary potential of modern art in social, political, and cultural contexts. Artists embraced the term to challenge conventional artistic standards and establish new creative paradigms. The avant-garde encompassed various groups and individuals. In our minds, Caravaggio, Delacroix, Schwitters, Arp, Duchamp & Klee define this movement, who sought to defy mainstream aesthetic norms and even dismantle societal systems associated with them. Not limited to mere "avant-garde," these artistic movements, such as Realism, Impressionism, Expressionism, and Cubism, also emerged, thus laying the groundwork for the concept of an artistic "movement" as it exists today.
