Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the legacy of the 20th century Avant-Gardes from the perspective of the paradigm shift immanent in the formation of the Postmodern era. Examining the historical Avant-Gardes from the current position, I intend to show how their major strategies provided the basis for the formation of a culture and art no longer functioning according to the Cartesian principles.
