Movement for the Independence of Art

The Movement for the Independence of Art was a cultural initiative emphasizing that art should be free from political, commercial, or academic control. It aimed to protect artistic creativity and integrity by advocating for artists to have autonomy over their work, expression, and the means of production. This movement often emerged in contexts where external influences threatened to limit artistic freedom, emphasizing that art should serve as a genuine reflection of individual vision and societal diversity rather than external agendas or constraints.
