kitsch. Kitsch derives from the German kitschen, “to throw together a work of art,” which dates back to the 19th century. The Viennese novelist Hermann Broch has been credited with adding the noun Kitsch to the vocabulary of literature, in its sense of “art or literature judged to have little or no aesthetic value, especially when produced to satisfy popular taste.” The Czech novelist Milan Kundera adds that “Kitsch translates the stupidity of conventional ideas into the language of beauty and feeling.” |
