What is the avant garde? Each person asked will probably answer differently; our profession and experience inform our opinions.

“The avant garde goes beyond invention” Klais tells us assuredly in the latest edition of Avant Garde Diares. “[It’s] using the experience of history to develop visions for the future.”
