Avant-garde art wants to show and represent the life of the modern world(technology, speed, social movements, etc...). In music class, we have studied two different types of avant-garde art:

- Abstract art: The central trait of abstract art is that it does not portray realistic images

Composition VII

- Surrealistic art: The central trait of surrealistic art is that is wants to represent the dreams logic:

The Persistence of Memory

Cinema also was influenced  by avant-garde art. We have abstract and surrealist movies. In composition with painting, cinema offers us the movement.
