Avant-Garde Quotes

Brian Eno quote: "Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad..."
Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it. Brian Eno
...if you are writing without zest, without gusto, without love, without fun, you are only half a writer. It means you are so busy keeping one eye on the commercial market, or one ear peeled for the avant-garde coterie, that you are not being yourself. You don't even know yourself. For the first thing a writer should be is-- excited. He should be a thing of fevers and enthusiasms. Ray Bradbury
Now, before you make a movie, you have to have a script, and before you have a script, you have to have a story; though some avant-garde directors have tried to dispense with the latter item, you'll find their work only at art theaters. Arthur C. Clarke
What has our culture lost in 1980 that the avant-garde had in 1890? Ebullience, idealism, confidence, the belief that there was plenty of territory to explore, and above all the sense that art, in the most disinterested and noble way, could find the necessary metaphors by which a radically changing culture could be explained to its inhabitants. Robert Hughes
The idea of avant-garde art is a very suspicious thing to me, the idea that poetry is new and it keeps being new the way Chevrolets every year are new. Robert Morgan
Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules... Mathematicians are more like classical composers. Brian Greene
Romain Gary quote: "The avantgarde are people who don't exactly know where they..."
The avantgarde are people who don't exactly know where they want to go, but are the first to get there. Romain Gary
I was a student at Harvard, and that's where I learned about so-called avant-garde music. Jackson Pollock, abstract expressionism and painting were well known at this time. Henry Flynt
Domenico Dolce quote: "It is not necessary to be too avant-garde, because you risk..."
It is not necessary to be too avant-garde, because you risk not being understood. Domenico Dolce
I've always liked pop music. There was a bit of a misunderstanding with the avant-garde rock scene, because I think I was sort of swimming the wrong way, really. Robert Wyatt
It's high time for the art world to admit that the avant-garde is dead. It was killed by my hero, Andy Warhol, who incorporated into his art all the gaudy commercial imagery of capitalism (like Campbell's soup cans) that most artists had stubbornly scorned. Camille Paglia
Music is a continuum and the modern and avant-garde composers of today will be part of the standard repertoire 30 years from now. Neville Marriner
I hate the terminology of "costume" because my clothes are not costumes at all. I think they're high fashion, avant-garde, and more couture, definitely, and yes, some of my pieces are not particularly wearable, but I wouldn't say they're costumes, I'd say they're more couture. Christian Siriano
Matthew Shipp quote: "I can imagine an utter hatred for the jazz avant-garde."
I can imagine an utter hatred for the jazz avant-garde. Matthew Shipp
To some degree, yeah, because I have to play a certain number of originals that might be considered avant-garde material. I realize though, that only a few people in the audience actually know what that music is, or understand it. Archie Shepp
