Avant-garde.

Avant-garde is a type of european arts that appeared in XIX and XX centuries. It has many similar things with surrealism and modernism. Avant-garde includes many types of art. Such as: music, literature, cinema, painting, theatre.

Pictures of this time were bright and strange, works had a lot of mysteries. In avant-garde literature, dramas and poems were popular. Representatives of the time: The Picture of Dprian Gray by Oscar Wilde, Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov, Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett.

Movies were black-and-white because cinema just appeared at the beginning of XX century. For example, Sur un air de Charleston by Jean Renoir.

Many kinds of art created classical things which are studied in schools by students. One art form depends on another. So, avant-garde is important for others.

P.S. This is one of the latest types of art. But not the last.
