Eastern European Avant-garde

Eastern European Avant-garde refers to innovative, experimental art movements from Eastern Europe during the early 20th century, influenced by political upheavals and cultural shifts. Artists sought to challenge traditional norms through abstract art, bold design, avant-garde theater, and experimental writing, often reflecting social change and modernist ideas. Key movements include Russian Constructivism, Polish Futurism, and Czech Surrealism. These artistic efforts aimed to break boundaries, explore new forms, and engage with contemporary issues, leaving a lasting impact on global modern art and design.
