Week 7 : Kitsch ??

Kitsch, this character is spreads out from the German.In English dictionary, the significance of the word is “the very few values either does not have value's literature or art”.Many art theorists define that art and kitsch as opposites.It is dismissed outside the higher culture, but its influence are general, is omnipresent, but also does not have the criticalness easy to propagandize.




''Technically, Kitsch is a term that has been used to categorize art that is considered an inferior copy of an existing style. The term "kitschy" is also used more loosely in referring to any art/thing/or person that is pretentious or in bad taste, and also commercially produced items that are considered trite or crass''


Are these columns in Malaysia Kitsch?

Here are some columns in Malaysia.

In my opinion,some columns in Malaysia had their values,such as traditional columns in temples.It is stately and grand.For example, please refer to p1 .

Nevertheless,some of the construct of columns mix with complex Malaysia identity make them lost their values.That's kitsch.
