Kitsch; - Softcover
From the back cover: "Good taste is the enemy of art." Remembering this, we assure you that this book contains absolutely no examples of good taste. Only the very worst in artkitsch, pornokitsch, adkitsch and living kitsch has here been selected for the true kitsch connoisseur. It may be that some people do not know what kitsch is. Scholarly essays have been written discussing the psychology of kitsch, kitsch as the subversive force undermining consumer society, kitsch as a sociological indicator to mass culture. There are as many definitions of kitsch as there are people to define it. After you have thoroughly studied this book, you, too, will be a kitsch expert.
