'''Avant-garde''' ({{IPA-fr|avɑ̃ɡaʁd}}); from French, "advance guard" or "[[vanguard (disambiguation)|vanguard]]"<ref name="dictref">{{Cite web|url=http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=avant-garde|title=Avant-garde definitions|accessdate=2007-03-14|publisher=Lexico Publishing Group, LLC|work=Dictionary.com}}</ref>) is a French term used in English as a noun or adjective to refer to people or works that are [[experiment]]al or innovative, particularly with respect to [[art]], [[culture]], and [[politics]].
Avant-garde represents a pushing of the boundaries of what is accepted as the [[Norm (sociology)|norm]] or the [[status quo]], primarily in the cultural realm. The notion of the existence of the avant-garde is considered by some to be a hallmark of [[modernism]], as distinct from [[postmodernism]]. Many artists have aligned themselves with the avant-garde movement and still continue to do so, tracing a history from [[Dada]] through [[Situationist International|the Situationists]] to postmodern artists such as the [[Language poets]] around 1981.<ref>[http://www.ubu.com/ UBU Web] List of artists from Dada to the present day aligning themselves with the avant-garde</ref>
