Avant Garde is an adjective used within the English Language to accredit a piece of work that is progressive, radical and idiocentric with regards to politics, culture, history and art. The term Avant Garde can be used to define a piece of work which opposes the norms and values of modern day society. Although the term is derived from the French Language, it still remains impossible to trace back the origins of this word. The conceptualization of Avant Garde exclusively refers to accredited artists, writers, directors, composers, fashion designers, photographers and theorists whose work does not only hinder mainstream society but often has an outlandish, controversial political tone running throughout the work.
