Kitsch

n.Does anyone out there on the old WWW think that any of MTAA’s art work could be: a) classified as kitsh; or b) understood as commenting on kitsch?
Sentimentality or vulgar, often pretentious bad taste, especially in the arts: “When money tries to buy beauty it tends to purchase a kind of courteous kitsch” (William H. Gass).
adj.
Of, being, or characterized by kitsch: “The kitsch kitchen… has aqua-and-white gingham curtains and rubber duck-yellow walls painted in a fried-egg motif” (Suzanne Cassidy).
M.River adds:
Just to be less clear, T.Whid and I are doing some R and D. Yes, we know. The subject of Kitsch in art is a bit…well, Kitschy. We’re just thinking out loud on this. Does that make any sense? Yes? No? Let me put it this way – I’m not sure if it’s all or none. permanent link to this post
