First sentence: While it can be said that a complete revolution in the language of art has been brought about during the twentieth century by means of the cogent theories of the historical avant-garde movements and the subsequent revival of these by neo-avant-garde movements after the Second World War, it is equally true that the nineteenth century witnessed a decisive renewal and radical transformation of the language and techniques of modern art.
