Avant Garde Quotes.

The avant-garde man is the opponent of an existing system. Eugene Ionesco Avant-garde art jousts with propriety, but takes care never to unseat it. Mason Cooley Life is difficult for those who have the daring to first set out on an unknown road. The avant-garde always has a bad time of it.

Robert Morgan Avant-gardism is an addiction that can be appeased only by a revolution in permanence. Harold Rosenberg |
