Re: FLUXLIST: Please define kitsch

[ArtnAnts]

Well, I think Kitsch is debated as to its exact meaning. As I understand it it is an artform that looks back to the past. Kitsch was born in the early days of the industrial revolution . Easel painting that reflected a sense of doom or the sublime. Sentimentilizing is associated with Kitsch in the way that anything far back enough in the past gets sentimentilized. Perhaps other fluxlisters can offer more.
