Avant-Garde(by Dani)

There is not a lot of information on Avant-Garde but what I found is that avant garde works were experimental. Avant Gardes disaproved popular forms of art thinking that the academic practice complicates and compromises the work. Avant-Garde pushes the boundries of what was accepted as the normal academic way. Avant-garde is considered closely related to modernism and post modernism. Some people fix the date of the beginning of this era is May 17, 1863, which was the opening of Salon des Refuses in Paris. Painters started this expedition to show Paris Salon that paintings can be more than academic. The Salon des Refuses were held in 1863, 1874, 1875, and 1886. Painter Gustave Courbet's started avant-gardism by rebelling Realism. In 1855 two of his paintings: Burial at Ornans(1849) and The Artist's Studio(1855) were rejected by the jury of the International Exhibition. As time went on, the criticism grew for avant garde art because it was new and because there was more abundance of avant-garde art. With this, avant-garde became more newsworthy for it was covered by media. It helped that big money was invested in it.
