Contextual studies lecture - High Culture and Low Culture

Avante Garde - Avante Garde is described as innovative and ground breaking work that goes against the rules of established work.

Avante garde artists challenge conventions, post modernism may be seen as a form of avante garde

Leeds College of Art encourages avante garde thinking.

Inovation: Creating something new

Experimentation: The process of working in different ways to achieve something new

Originality: Work that is not based on existing work

Two approaches to Avante Garde art:

Art that is socially committed (Art created for society)

Art that seeks to expand what Art is (Art for Art's sake)

Examples of Artists that follow the Art for Art's sake ideology are:

Jackson Pollock

Chris Burden

Clement Greenberg
