Avant-garde, a Rare card
In the arts and literature, the term avant-garde identifies an experimental genre or work of art, and the artist who created it, which usually is aesthetically innovative, whilst initially being ideologically unacceptable to the artistic establishment of the time.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The military metaphor of an advance guard identifies the artists and writers whose innovations in style, form, and subject-matter challenge the artistic and aesthetic validity of the established forms of art and the literary traditions of their time, thus, the artists who created the anti-novel and surrealism were regarded by some contemporaries as ahead of their times.
- As a stratum of the intelligentsia of a society, some avant-garde artists promote progressive and radical politics and advocate for societal reform with and through works of art.
- In the essay "The Artist, the Scientist, and the Industrialist", Henri de Saint-Simon's political usage of vanguard identified the moral obligation of artists to "serve as [the] avant-garde" of the people, because "the power of the arts is, indeed, the most immediate and fastest way" to realise social, political, and economic reforms.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Avant-garde article was read about 410,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 70: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
