Against Kitsch

• Where there is an avant-garde generally we also
  find a rear-gard an ersatz culture which
  provides diversion for those who are insensible
  to the value of true culture Clement Greenberg
• Kitsch is both abstraction and false appearance.
  Leon Krier

For Kitsch

• My art is not for snobs, you dont need a PH.D
  to understand and enjoy it, but it does do
  strange things with familiar everyday materials
  -Mathew Barney
• Disneyworld changed architecture for ever and for
  the better Frank Gehry
