Avant-garde (pronounced a’vant-garde) is an intellectual, artistic and cultural movement characterized by the experimental, the radical and the unorthodox approaches. Derived from french and meaning vanguard or advance guard, the term describes the few who dare to go in front and defy conventions. The current also defines an attitude of freedom from the conventionals of society. This is why avant-garde is not the same as modernism. Modernism, as a term, defines a period that integrates all aspects of society while avant-garde rejects the mainstream in favor of the unique.
