Description

About the author

Tomas Kulka teaches philosophy and aesthetics at Tel Aviv University and at the Charles University of Prague.

Summary

What is kitsch? What is behind its appeal? More important, what is wrong with kitsch? Though central to our modern and postmodern culture, the aesthetic worthlessness of kitsch has been generally assumed but seldom explained. "Kitsch and Art" seeks to offer an explanation of the phenomenon.
