Alex White on Herb Lubalin's Avant Garde Avant Garde -- the typeface -- was born as a logo for a new magazine of the same name in the mid-60s. Avant Garde should be used as it was originally intended: as a display face where its ligatures can be carefully crafted into magnificent letterform gems. There are two knocks against Avant Garde: It is irrevocably connected to the era in which it was born; and it is ugly. www.graphic-design.com /Type/Avant/Avant2.html   (742 words)

Avant garde Info - Encyclopedia WikiWhat.com Avant garde (sometimes avant-garde; literally, vanguard) is a French phrase, one of a number of French phrases used by English speakers. The avant garde was originally concerned with art for the sake of social progress: seeing the artist as the vangard of a social reform movement. Over time however the term has also come to be associated with movements concerned with "art for art's sake", concerned directly with aesthetic experience rather than social reform, the direct opposite of its original intentions. www.wikiwhat.com /encyclopedia/a/av/avant_garde.html   (143 words)

Avant garde metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Avant garde metal, sometimes called experimental, is a subgenre of heavy metal characterized by large amounts of experimentation and by non-standard sounds, instruments, and song structures. While progressive metal, like avant garde metal, is also a genre which favours experimentation and non-standard ideas, there are rather large differences between the two genres. One of the most striking differences is that the experimentation of progressive metal lies mostly in complex rhythms and song structures, while the genre usually sticks to a more traditional instrumentation, whereas in avant garde metal the usage of unusual sounds plays usually a fundamental role. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Avant_garde_metal   (318 words)

Avant-garde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Avant garde is relevant to Art because without these movements Art itself would stagnate and become dormant and merely craft, repeating the same style over and over.

Bad Subjects: The Limits of Politics in Avant-Garde Jazz At least as important, however, is the fact that live recordings of avant jazz seldom lose anything in terms of sound quality because the crowds for these concerts, which rarely consist of more than 300 people and usually quite fewer, are fairly quiet. A look at the crowd in the middle of an avant jazz concert is likely to reveal audience members swaying to the music and moving rhythmically in a fashion that makes them look as if they just might be hypnotized. There are, to be sure, a few rare occasions where the audience and performers involved at an avant jazz concert do combine to create a sound greater than either could produce on their own. bad.eserver.org /issues/2001/56/holmquist.html   (1419 words)

Russian avant-garde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Russian avant-garde is an umbrella term used to define the large, influential wave of modern art that flourished in Russia from approximately 1890 to 1930- although some place its beginning as early as 1850 and its end as late as 1960. The Russian avant-garde reached its creative and popular height in the period between the Russian Revolution of 1917 and 1932, at which point the ideas of the avant-garde clashed with the newly emerged state-sponsored direction of Socialist Realism. The term covers many separate, but inextricably related, art movements that occurred at the time; namely Russian Symbolism, neo-primitivism, suprematism, constructivism, and futurism. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Russian_avant-garde   (162 words)

Avant garde The avant garde was originally identified with the promotion of social progress: seeing the group or individual so described as the pioneer of a social reform movement. Another example of avant garde would be street art, for example the highly contentious street art found in the lanes and by-ways of inner Melbourne such as stencil art or GraffitiArt. The concept was adopted as a metaphor for the work done by small bands of intellectuals and artists as they open pathways through new cultural or political terrain, for the mass of society to follow. www.serebella.com /encyclopedia/article-Avant_garde.html   (575 words)

dweeb metal - Metal Genres by James Slone Avant garde is not a genre, but a term that can be generally applied to any band of any genre pushing the boundaries and composing from a truly original direction. Whereas prog metal simply attempts more difficult arrangements, the avant garde throws out the rule book altogether and approaches composition with a fresh, or inventive outlook- complexity isn't an issue, but wild creativity is. Avant garde metal tends to be theatrical and melodramatic, attempting an infusion of art music, impressionistic and disjointed arrangements, and metal. The term avant garde is generally applied to bands that try to achieve a higher level of artistry and creative exploration, usually by way of the fey and surreal. home.carolina.rr.com /dweeb/SloneDefinitions.html   (1522 words)

Russian Avant-Garde Art Index Strzeminski wanted to have an influence on ways of seeing in an institutional manner - this attitude was typical of the avant-garde, and related to the postulates of the heroic phase of the Russian avant-garde, with whose representatives and institutions he actively co-operated in the late teens and early 1920's.

Russian avant-garde - The G. Costakis Collection Costakis, a man of a degree of self-criticism unusual in a collector, was thus wrong to fear that he might have devoted too much attention to what was still seen even in the Eighties as being post-avant-garde rather than the early stages of the movement. He was assisted in that campaign by his faith in the value of the phenomenon as art; he believed, quite rightly, as it turned out, that one day the avant-garde would be the pride of artistic Russia. Accentuation of the triple historical role of this rich and multifaceted collection (discovery/formation, preservation, dissemination: a role which is tantamount to the identity of the collection and determines its history) has been the central guideline in the planning of this exhibition and its catalogue. www.costopoulosfoundation.org /collections/russianav/preface-en.html   (1467 words)

Clicks and Klangs - Gender and the Avant Garde part 1 Avant garde art-forms will be of an unusual or original kind and the reader will often need to have some background knowledge relating to the art form in order to appreciate its intent and subsequent level of success. Despite the relative freedom of the world of the avant garde which would enable a woman musician to freely express herself in the manner of her choosing, it is a genre which consistently fails to 'recruit' women performers or listeners. Thus, modernism, the avant garde and experimental art can be argued to have been founded upon the conscious disowning or disavowal of the art that women tended to consume, making no concession to populist needs, tastes or choices. www.beefheart.com /zine/001/gendergj1.htm   (1467 words)

avant_garde_jazz_guide_themusic Music, that is not in the mainstream, is considered almost a fringe music, and avant-garde jazz is a music outside of the mainstream. Musical techniques and sounds of earlier eras as well as music from other cultures are embraced, continued, reinterpreted, placed in different settings and contexts, and used in different combinations and order and sometimes through the view of the current times. Jazz is used often as atmosphere music in nightclubs, as dance music especially that of the big band era, or to sit down and listen to in clubs, with usually a sense of a particular type of rhythm or beat, one that is particular to a certain type of jazz. cjhmusic.home.netcom.com /avant_garde_jazz_themusic.htm   (1467 words)
