Detailed Description

Letterism is an avant-garde art movement that developed in the 1940s and 1950s. It was founded by the French artist Isidore Isou and his associates. The movement is characterized by the use of letters and words in artworks, as well as the rejection of traditional art forms. Letterist artists sought to redefine art and to challenge the conventions of traditional art forms. They believed that art should be accessible to everyone and that it should be expressive and immediate. The Letterist movement was short-lived, but it had a significant impact on the development of subsequent avant-garde movements, such as Fluxus and Situationism. Some of the most famous Letterist artists include Isidore Isou, Maurice Lemaître, and Gil J. Wolman.
