From Gustave Courbet's realistic art to the Fluxus movement, the term "avant-garde" is linked to artists who challenge traditional artistic norms and aim to create new forms of art. Some of these artists also had strong political and social beliefs, wanting to change existing social structures that were connected to conventional artistic norms.
