Self-declared art movement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Self-declared art movments are art movements that have been declared by individual artists or groups, but whose influence has not spread widely beyond the circle of their immediate collaborators. While many artists may feel that they have something to contribute to the cultural landscape and an appreciation for social aesthetic trends, the act of naming an artistic approach does not in itself create a movement. Though they are not historically established, describing these movements as self-aggrandizing might be premature.
