Avant-garde- leading- pushing the boundaries in the early 1900s, not doing expensive art/photography/graphics more commercial.
Not doing the norm.
The idea of Avant-garde is described by some as modernism.
Things could be mass produced.
Only rich people could afford original paintings so Avant-garde said we want to design for all.
Germany & Paris= Avant-garde- Picasso- surrealism- Dadaism.
Greenberg. American, editor of political art magazines- good for Avant-garde- promoted people- like Jackson Pollock
True art= an original, a one off? Not true
Graphics= mass produced, does that still make it true art?
Art is art no matter what its value is or how much money the artist gets. The idea that only rich people can afford art is silly. Art that is free is still art.
True art depends on the eye of the beholder. You can think something is good because of the technical side gone into it- but you may not like it visually.
