History

As mentioned above avant-garde is the movement in the 19th-century and 20th-century that was recognized by artists who didn't follow tradition. may of the world's most prominent artists are considered avant-garde but who began using this term?

the Begining

The term avant-garde was first used in art by Henri de Saint-Simon a socialist. As the art historian Donald Egbert said: "It has never previously been pointed out, I believe, that the figurative use of the word avant-garde to denote radically progressive leaders of both art and society" [1] Saint-Simon was a French Utopian socialist and predecessor of Karl Marx. [2] In Egbert's paper, The Idea of Avant-Garde in Art and Politics, he explains how Saint-Simon believed that artists were best fitted to change the society and how in his Opinions litteraires, philosophiques et industrielle he said:

It is we, artists who will serve you as an avant-garde, the power of the arts is, in fact, most immediate and most rapid: when we wish to
spread new ideas among men, we inscribe them on marble or canvas. What a magnificent destiny for the arts
is that of exercising a positive power over society, a true priestly function and of
marching in the van [i.e. vanguard] of all the intellectual faculties! [3]


In this simple quote, he talks about many important things. He talks about the power art, in general, has and how avant-garde has very important. Art has been a method of communication of ideas, ideas that artists what to spread and that is why it has power. Avant-garde is a type of art that spreads new ideas that are going to change society and being in this movement is a smart choice. The key word in this quote is new, as it is what defines artists in this movement and even though many artists don't follow or believe in Saint-Simon's beliefs of socialism they still consider themselves part of this movement he first began.

Avant-garde started with realism, specially Gustave Courbet. He was strongly influenced by the ideas of socialism, Following the ideas of socialism Th avant-garde movement began with Expressionism specially with Avant-garde can be said
