Abstract
Avant-gardism was considered in Caucasian culture as an artificial turn for demonstrating style and originality. Analytics of the “settlement” of modernist-avant-gardist schools in the Caucasian art (culture) reality is in the first place connected with the correct understanding of the definition of terms. Modernism in Caucasus in the colonial period (20-ians of XX century ) was considered as artificial, mannered, meaningless, pseudo-positional and unnecessary happening in culture. Modernism had a different creative image in different countries, form and what is the most important different choices. Nevertheless, the methodological scheme of a sequence of Avant-gardism trends is as follows as in all culturological publications: Symbolism, Impressionism, Expressionism, Futurism, Dadaism, Cubism, and Surrealism. Each of these embodiments of Modernist mentality played important role in the cultural life and art theory of the country. This strategy turned out to be different for Caucasia. the theoretical analytics of Modernism in Caucasia had explicitly the fact that it could be perceived as an artistic creative method. i.e. literature of the method, which, unlike the European examples, had never acquired political loading.
