Avant-garde
From the wiki: Avant-garde means "advance guard" or "vanguard". The adjective form is used in English, 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. Many artists have aligned themselves with the avant-garde movement and still continue to do so, tracing a history from Dada through the Situationists to postmodern artists such as the Language poets around 1981. Thus, avant-garde encompasses almost all innovative art that introduces discontinuities. Art movements that can be called avant-garde include constructivism, cubism, De Stijl, impressionism, pop art, and vorticism. Typographically speaking, many styles could or should be called avant-garde, but in my own pages, I prefer to use that term specifically for the typefaces that use the minimalist and geometric forms that can be seen in Lubalin's ITC Avant Garde, and its predecessors and followers. |
