Swiss avant-garde refers to a movement in art, literature, and design that emerged in Switzerland during the early to mid-20th century. It is characterized by innovative and experimental approaches, often challenging traditional norms and conventions. Key figures include Max Bill, Le Corbusier, and Gottfried Keller, who contributed to various fields such as architecture, visual arts, and literature. The movement is closely associated with the Dada and Constructivism movements, emphasizing abstraction and the integration of art into everyday life. Swiss avant-garde artists often sought to provoke thought and inspire social change through their work, leaving a lasting impact on modern art and design.
