Trends and Movements :

This blog is a thinking activity based on Trends and Movements assigned by Megha Trivedi Mam and in these blog I am going to write according to my perspectives on Avant Garde, Expressionism and Dadaism.

Avant Garde :

The meaning of Avant Garde movement :

In French, Avant - garde means the "Vanguard" or the “advance guard” — basically the people and ideas that are ahead of their time. Usually it refers to a movement in the arts, like Dadaism, or in politics, like anarchism. Avant-garde can also be used as an adjective to describe something that’s cutting-edge. You might have enjoyed that avant-garde dance piece in which the performers threw marshmallows at each other, even though it was confusing at times.

Avant- Garde Art :

The phrase "avant-garde" was adapted to apply to the work of artists that worked on the social, political, and cultural revolutionary potential of much modern art.

 Expressionism :

Expressionism is a modernist movement, initially in poetry and painting, originating in Northern Europe around the beginning of the 20th century.

Definition of Expressionism :

Expressionism refers to art in which the image of reality is distorted in order to make it expressive of the artist's inner feelings or ideas.
