Avant-Garde – Art that Changed the World?
Апстракт
The first decades of the 20th century were marked by a great rebellion against tradition, current
habits and aesthetics. This manifested itself in art through avant-garde movements throughout
Europe. Through their revolutionary concepts and tendencies, these movements sought to
change the overall social and cultural environment. At the same time, the character of the
historical context was such that it coincided with the revolutionary aspirations of the avantgarde
movements, and their art had a significant political engagement.
The ways in which members of these movements conceived their ideas and activities were
varied. The aim of this research is to examine different models of action of avant-garde
movements, their influences and effects on cultural and social transformation. This implies an
analysis of the methods and echoes in society that the activities of avant-garde artists had. The
research examines the effect of the utilitarian approach of constructivists and product...ivists,
pointless and meditative in suprematism, critical denial of the bourgeois epoch in dada, or
aggressive provocations in surrealism. Also interesting for the research is the influence of the
fierce fighting spirit of the German artistic left, as well as the activation of the nationalist
content in Italy.
Through research the goal is to acquire knowledge and reach conclusions about the potential to
significantly influence the wider social community and human consciousness through the visual
arts. The avant-garde is a suitable testing ground for research on this topic due to the large
number of diverse artistic practices that, with more or less success, have pursued the same goal
– a revolutionary transformation of culture and society. In addition, avant-garde art and ideas
were decades ahead of their time, and rethinking this phenomenon may be significant to us in
terms of comparison with today’s visual arts context.
