Kitsch is a term that refers to any art or design using cultural icons and which is a style of mass-production. The word "kitsch" is used to refer to an art that is pretentious or in "bad" taste and also used to refer to trite (used until so common as to have lost novelty and interest)
or crass works. The term is usedfor the works that had a popular appeal. The concept of kitsch was brought into use as a response to a large amount of art work the in 19th century where the aesthetics were confused with exaggeration, sentimentality and melodrama.
Whether Kitsch tries to appear sentimental, glamorous, theathrical or creative, it is stays to be a gesture imitative of the superficial appearances of art. For some people it is relied on repeating convention and formula, that doesn't have any creativity, nor originality.
Today there are artists or designers that love kitsch and do works that look like kitsch, but don't name it that way or some who proud to make Kitsch works. Also some people use old kitchs works in their works, too.
