Kitsch - Jacques Sternberg
KORTE INHOUD
"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. This book contributes nothing to these deep discussions.
Believin that the best definition is example, Jacques Sternberg has selected hundreds of examples, words and pictures, from every source and from every country proving that kitsch is international and interdenominetional, a psotive force for cultural and aesthetic enjyment. And although there are as many definitions of kitsch as there are people to define it, it can always be recognized.
After you have thoroughly studied this book, you, too, will be a kitsch expert.
